Memory seat/mirror delete?
What would be involved in deleting the memory seat and mirror option from a 2004 C5? My driver's seat and passenger's mirror are flaky (have bad potentiometers) and would need to be replaced/rebuilt in order to function correctly. The cost of a "memory" mirror motor is 2x the cost of a non-memory motor, and the seat motor is in good shape. I noticed that without memory, the driver's side window/mirror switch did not have a "1" and "2" on it. Can I just purchase this switch? What else would I need to delete/replace?
Note: DO NOT tell me I should just "fix it" because it will hurt the value of the car/you like the memory option/etc. I did not asking for your opinion.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

Posted in another thread for you.. but here's how you can DISABLE the memory mirror function. Did this on mine last weekend becuase my mirrors moved every time i unlocked my doors.

You might be able to do something similar with the seats?
I guess it depends is if your goal is to truly make your car like one that never had it -- or just disable it because it's not working right...

I just removed the power seat tracks and replaced with Z06 manual tracks. I was having the usual small power draw that was killing my battery. Also saved about 40pds with the conversion....those power tracks are heavy!
