Default Memory Quit Tonight

So, I got in the car (automatic, '02 Coupe) tonight; stuck the key in the ingition, then sat there waiting for my seat and steering wheel to move into position. It never happened, so I got everything where I wanted it and puched the memory button. It blinked for quite some time. I pulled the key and re-inserted it, but nothing happened. I pushed the memory button, which started blinking again, but nothing moved.

What might be causing this? I'm no electrical guru.

Thanks for any help.

Dave

Original battery? Last time you drove the car? Do you keep it on a battery tender when not driving it for 5 or more days? Have the battery load tested, it could be a weak battery on it's last legs....

Did you try to get out of the car, Set alarm and then unlock car and get in and insert key?

Thanks for your ideas, guys.

It's a daily driver and haven't noticed any battery-related issues. I just tried locking it, unlocking - nothing. I set everything, again, but it didn't hold. The light blinks for about 15~20 seconds when I push it to set.

It could be a bad ground. Sometimes the connectors get dirty, you might have to clean them.
