Default Driver seat

My driver seat moves eradicately when going forward or backwards, up and down is normal.I have to keep moving the switch several times to get the seat in position.Its like a start stop movement.Im thinking a bad switch problem or maybe a memory issue. Opinions welcome.

The electric seat adjuster on the drivers side has been problematic on many 97-04 C5's
They often act wierd On my 02 i just set it where i wanted it and dis connected the pigtail under the seat This is not a 100% fix but the 100% fix can be expensive
ALSO When the drivers side seat adjuster goes bad I will draw power all the time even when the key is off and if you don't drive your car every day it will make the battery go dead---- Cheap fix adjust it where it is best for all drivers and unplug the pigtail under the seat--

You sure you just don’t need the shim kit they sell here at wcc. It’s cheap and makes your seat glide back and forth like it suppose to.
