Default power seat is talking back
I walked past my 2000 vert yesterday in the garage and I kept hearing a short motor noise. After I investigated it was the power seat making 3 or 4 short motor burst then quitting. I checked and the key was out. I moved the seat back and forth and it did it again later. Sooner or later I figure this will drain my battery. Anyone know whats up with this. Thanks

Mine is doing the same thing... I noticed it last night in the garage. I am going to take out the seat and check wires. Figure it's either a wire loose or a bad switch. I' ll let you know.

I noticed that my seat was never in quite the same place. Just had a new track put on at the dealer. Guess I'm not imagining it.
