Seat Problems
I have had my 2002 C5 for 4 years and love the car. However I have had trouble with the driver seat as long as I have had the car. It will work perfectly for a month or so and then will stop when the seat moves forward like it is catching on something. I have had it fixed several times...but it always eventually starts acting up again. I can't even use the easy entry option because it will start acting up again for sure. This is a problem because everyone knows how hard it is to get in and out of a Vette...even with a good back. Anyone had this problem...any ideas on a fix? By the way I have checked and it's not catching on loose change or anything like that.
Thanks...RonC

I have something similar going on from time to time: I get in and the seat starts repositionning itself and then stops in the middle of its course. Usually, I have to activate the horizontal position button on the lower left of the seat a few times forward. Each time I hit the button, the seat will go maybe a 10th of an inch and stop. After a couple of *push* I can hit the memory button again and the seat will reposition itself just fine. It does not happen often enough so that I really tried to fix it, but I'd bet that it is some position sensor that is losing track of its position for a section of its course. If someone had a diagram of that particular item, we could go and take a look. Anyone?

My 2000 would "hunt" on occasion. One of the position sensors was bad and replaced. Of course the whole frame had to be replaced instead of just the one sensor. As I understand it, the easy exit feature really works the seats and may cause failures such as what I experienced.
