Hi guys,
Wondering if some wise heads can help. I've search the forums and no one seems to have had the problem I'm having....
Drivers electric seat in my '04 CV8 Monaro decides to move itself and slide all the way back until it stops. No other adjustment happens (height/tilt etc), she just slides all the way back. Thankfully it never does it while the engine is on, but other than that it doesn't seem to matter whether the keys are in it or not, or if it's locked or alarmed or immobilised. I've disconnected the battery for half an hour, no luck. I've checked the fuses and relays, all good. Sometimes it might not do it for a few months, then it starts to do it once a day, sometimes a couple of times a day if I'm in and out of it a few times.
On the odd occasion I've caught it doing it, when I hold the preset button to return it to it's set position, as soon as I let the button go it wants to slide all the way back again. The only way to get it to stay where I want then is to use the control lever to slide it forward or back and then it'll stay. I've tried setting different positions for the 3 preset buttons but that doesn't help.
It's had a good life, always kept under cover day and night, so I'm ruling out water or sun/heat messing with electronics. The seat itself is in excellent condition with no play or movement. All the buttons etc are as new and work as such.
The only wiring changes ever done to the car is a 7" headunit installed with a steering wheel control adapter patch, and the only other weird electrical thing it does once in a blue moon is when I switch the car off the thermo's will stay on (totally random and not heat related as it happened one icy morning after only driving for 2 minutes). Pulling the underbonnet relay and reinstalling fixes that, weird. Can't see how either of these could affect the seat but thought I'd mention it.
Any help appreciated as I'm worried about the day it starts sliding back while I'm driving, :computer:
Cheers,
Smiddy
