Default Easy entry seat

I have a 99 frc and every time I use the key fob to enter the car, my drivers seat moves back to the farthest position. I have tried setting the seat memory on the door and nothing changes. Can i pull the fuse for the door memory so i can use the key fob.? If i manually lock, seat stays where i want it.
Thanks
Turns out, my car does not have the memory option, don't know what I was thinking. Still, when I use the fob to open the door and then put the key in the ignition the seat moves all the way back. Its a real pain as then I can't push the clutch all the way in to start the car unless of course I move the seat every single time. Easy entry is turned to off and does the same thing with both key fobs.

There is an option to turn off the easy entry seat through the options. Your manual will tell you how. I would but I can't remember. It is through the options button on the dic.

Wow. Of course the car is made by Gremlin Motors. Mine just turned off fine.

My easy entry is turned off but every time I use the key fob the seats still move. So to stop that, I used the key entry only. Worked well for several years but recently, without any changes, when I use the key the seat move again along with the mirrors. I then set the set memory to where I want the seats. So far that has fixed the problem with both when I use the key entry. The electrical gremlins in the C5 have no explanation. .

My '00 Vert does the same thing. I've used the memory on the left door panel to set position 1 for me and 2 for my wife and no matter what, either key fob places me in position #2. I've learned to live with it. Maybe the next time I disconnect the battery I can get it resolved.
