That's what happens when you kill all of those Rustangs!! :jester

Do you have a seat cover? If so check to see if it is pushing on the switch.

Not sure then, I would have to check the switch. Maybe when you started it
the vibration caused it, due to a bad switch. :confused:

Who sat is the seat last and did they change its postion, if so the memory was returning it to its proper place. Either that or you need a Rev. to chase the spirit out of the car. I do mine once a month to keep it spirit free. Remember those spirits of past over drag racers want a fast car to haunt.

:iagree: Same for my 99. I thought memory seats only messed with the driver's side? :confused: I think you should check out the switch...it's probably shorting out somewhere :cheers:

Just an idea. :D

Mitch, my drivers seat was also doing the same thing. Thank god I'm a little guy. The seat pushes aganist the sterring wheel. I agree with the switch theory. Occassionally mine will not retract the seat rearward after moving forward. I disconnected the battery for a short time it seemed to fix the memory issue. I'll have the switch changed out during the fall. It's nuisance issue. :seeya
