Default Crazy!!!!! Seat Please Help

OK here we Go, First off Im sure what i'm about to describe is a short somewhere but I don't know where to start my driver seat frame and motor was just replace about 4mos ago and up until 1month ago haven't had any problems.

My drivers seat will just move forward, it will move when I turn on a blinker, it will move when I hit the Brakes, it will move when I roll down the windows, heck it will move for no freaking reason sometimes It wouldn't be that bad if it just moved a little but it goes all the way forward and throws me into the steering wheel talk about make me mad. Lately it seems to be getting worse and doing it even more. It does it everytime I use the brake,windows or blinker now. If anyone has an idea what is going on please let me know Thanks!!!!!!

Hey Chad. Sorry but I don't have an answer for you. I saw that you were from Picayune. I have a good friend that lives there and your the first one I've seen on the forum so I'm just saying hi.

I had a similar problem last February. It never moved while I was in the car, but one time it kept trying to move rearward until it drained the battery. I was keeping the car outside and I attributed the problem to condensation on the switch contacts, but I don't know for sure if that was it. So I moved the seat to my position and took the fuse out of the fusebox (under the passenger footwell). I put the fuse back in when the weather warmed up, and have not seen the problem since.
