Alright got a odd one here..

It's getting worse. When I put the key in the car and the seat adjusts and moving forward it would "stutter" a little and this is now gotten bad and it behaves like it's "sticking". Sometimes hitting the memory seat button numerous times does NOT bring the seat to position but I have to move it back with the button a bit then move it forward.

The funny thing the other day I noticed the AC air intake indicator flipped from outside to recirculation when I hit the memory button and then flip back to outside.

I tested by turning the AC off and hit the memory button and lo and behold the AC kicked to automatic and circulation flipped from outside to recirculation back to outside when I hit the memory button.

Obviously there seems to be some electrical here but not sure what or where to start to look.

A while back in the sys dig it indicated a short. But wouldn't think a bad cable that might shorten out would create this behavior with the AC system.

Do I need to get my seat out of the car to check the eletrical motor and cablings or what brilliant ideas does the gurus here have for me?

It's a 98 Pace car replica with the mfg provided race seats.

Annoyed but want my memory seat working right.

Yes, a short can and will cause some crazy axx stuff!

It's only four bolts to take the seat out and it'll make the job so much easier!

That's what we did, we took out the seats and made it 10x easier.:beerbang:
