Key Fob / Seat Memory Issues
04 Base Coupe- Using the #1 Key Fob I unlock door, get in, insert key into ignition and the seat only moves up about an inch and then STOPS dead in in it's tracks yet if I push the #1 Memory button on the door the seat moves up to it's programmed position. At first I thought it might be the battery getting tired in the fob so I replaced it. Still doing what it's not programmed to do. I have had the car since Dec 2010 and it has only begun doing this with in the last couple of months.
Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do to remedy the problem?
Thanks Guys !

Have you tried to RELEARN both of the FOBs? Do a relearn on both and see if that changes anything
Set all your SETABLE functions to your desired settings and press MEM1 & MEM2 for BOTH fobs with identical settings. Then see if both work the same.
If one still fails to work properly I will have to dig a little deeper to help figure it out. The above test will help eliminate some things.

I have to ask. Have you set everything to where you want it and then pressed MEM1 and or MEM2 and held it until it sets the memory??
If that doesnt work, your memory module is most likely bad

Hey Bill, Here’s what I got but I don’t know if it’s going to tell us anything as they are all H Codes: LDCM – B2282H- Battery #1 Fault,
B2284H- Battery #2 Fault.
RDCM – B2283H - Battery #1 Fault,
B2285H- Battery #2 Fault and B2287H- +5v Reference Fault.
There is no SCM codes at all.
I also had an IPC- B0516H- Speedometer Signal Circuit Malfunction. I wonder if I caused that code when I took apart the Gauge Cluster to replace the bulbs in the DIC? Anyway, like I said in my first post, I replaced the batteries in both Fobs. So I’m still stumped? I wonder if MAYBE there is a dead spot on the motor windings or maybe brushes need to be cleaned?
So I cleared all of the codes and I’ll keep an eye on it. If the seat travel acts up again I’ll check for any new codes.
Thanks for your help !

Common issue on the early year FOB's. Here is a link about the fix for those:

Not that it couldn't happen, but if that problem is what is going on with the OP's 2004 FOB's, that would be the first time I have read about it occurring on the 2001 and newer.......

"options not available" is the sure sign that neither FOB you have are programmed as #1 or #2. I went through the exact same thing a couple of weeks ago with mine. Do the long relearn process, which takes 30 minutes if done correctly. I did mine on the first attempt but I hear others havent been so lucky.
This video is what worked for me. Watch it entirely first, then try it out.
