Power seat stopped working

[Rufus]

My power seat stopped working on the drivers side this morning. I stopped and started the truck a couple of times and it worked. Then, after my first stop, it stopped working and I started getting this message intermittently (see pic).

At the next stop light the seat started moving forward on its own.

The auto positioning, manual controls, and memory all don’t work.

Has anybody else experienced this?

In the posted photo the truck is moving. Memory function won’t work unless completely stopped - at least thats how mine works. Seems like manual controls should still work, unless there is an algorithm that shuts them off above a certain speed. I’ve had my truck for almost 6 months & it there are still odd things that happen transiently.

I didn’t try the memory controls. That’s whole point - it was trying something on its own. When I stopped at a light the seat moved on its own. And the manual controls do not work. Neither does the auto adjustment when you get in/out.

Hi there! If you'd like to, go ahead and send us a private message with your VIN and dealer info and we’ll look into this seat concern. Thanks!

Well, it miraculously started working again yesterday. I’m going to take it to the dealer anyway. I’m fully expecting the “could not replicate condition” or something like that.

And it stopped working again today when I remote started it. I stopped it, got out, locked it and unlocked it then got in and it worked. I’m dropping it off at the dealer tomorrow.

Before dropping it at the dealer... try disconnecting the battery for about 10 min...clear everything out...literally have you tried turning it off and on again... good luck!

I took it to the dealer and one of the recalls was the update the door control module software. It didn't do the trick.

I'll try the battery trick. Thanks.

Turned out to be a loose connection somewhere, the dealer found it and fixed it.
