Default resetting seat memory

I checked the search function and couldn't find anything. My seat memory has gone nuts and I can't remember how to reprogram it. I loaned my owners manual to a friend who just bought a 2000 convertable. Any help would be appreicated.

Set your seat, AC and side view mirrors to what you would like then have the gear either in natural if manual or parking if auto hold down on the memory button till it blinks several times then remove your finger test it and it will be saved.

The MEMORY buttons are located on the driver’s door,
above the power mirror controls. The MEMORY
buttons can store and recall settings for up to three
drivers. Use button “1” to store the settings for the
first driver, button “2” for a second driver or press
buttons 1 and 2 at the same time for a third driver.
To store your memory settings:
1. Adjust your settings for the driver’s seat position,
outside rearview mirror positions, and telescopic
steering wheel (if equipped).
2. Press and hold a MEMORY button. The light above
the MEMORY button will glow steady for one
second and then flash once when the settings are
complete. Then the light will go off.
3. Set the climate control temperature, fan speed and
mode settings, radio presets, tone, volume, playback
mode (AM/FM, tape or CD), tape direction and
compact disc position.
Your memory settings are now programmed. Any
changes that are made to the audio system and climate
controls while driving will be automatically stored when
the ignition key is turned off.
When first entering your vehicle, after pressing the
unlock button on your remote keyless entry transmitter
or a MEMORY button, a recall of your settings will
occur when the door is closed and the ignition key is in
the ignition switch. As the memory settings are recalled,
the light above the button will flash until the correct
settings are achieved, then glow for five seconds
when complete.
A memory recall can be stopped by pressing any
memory seat, mirror or steering column position button.
When your remote keyless entry transmitter has been
programmed to driver 1, 2 or 3, and you insert the key into
the ignition, memory will also occur. Drivers 1, 2 and
3 correspond to the order in which your remote keyless
entry transmitters were programmed. See “Fob Training”
in the Index for more information.
Memory recall will not work if the vehicle is moving.
Memory recall will be temporarily interrupted during
engine crank.

did this system change over the years? my 99's memory feature does nothing to the side view mirrors, and it will move the seat while the car is in motion.

I wish there was some way to get it to not adjust my climate control settings, I'd rather they stay right where they are.

My 97 Coupe does it, it changes the climate settings along with the seats and the side view mirrors but i have to be in total stop to do that

But take the following in notice, first it is a Middle East edition. second i have ride control and traction control without the competition mode setup. also i do not have an HUD.

might sound weird but that is how i bought it back in 97

yeah one more thing, it was no. 17 of the Assembly line

hmm. guess mine's broke then. it doesn't really matter since I'm the only driver, but it would be nice to have all that stuff functional. I wonder whats wrong with it...the mirror motors work just fine.
