Memory seat loses setting!

[edgemaster]

2009 Edge Ltd, the memory seat seems to lose its memory.

I have to push the button in the door when the car parks over night.

However, once I drive around, the seat works every time when I put the key into the ignition, just not over night.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ed

You must be talking about easy entry where the seat slides back and forth. Try running the seat all the way to the front and all the way to the back. Sometimes that resets the position sensors.

As akirby stated, the correct procedure is:

1 Turn the ignition to the ON position.

2 Press the seat control switch horizontal button forward until the seat track stops.

3 Keep the horizontal button pressed forward for one second after the seat track reaches its forward end of travel. The horizontal forward soft stop has been set, release the switch button.

4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for all seat track axis in both directions

During the setting procedure, if the seat track stops before the end of travel has been reached, the DSM has stopped at a previously set soft stop. To set the new soft stop, release the seat control switch and press again in the same direction until the seat track stops.

OK, just did that.

Let's see what happens tomorrow morning.

Went through this procedure several times, no dice.

Memory is lost over night.

Same with my wife's setting.

Try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes or so to reset the electronics.

Just curious, how old is your battery?

Is has been working, intermittently, for a few days.

I noticed a grinding noise when I move the seat up or down and sometimes it seems to be stuck. When I wiggle a bit, it start moving again.

I'm wondering if I could take that seat out and check/grease the mechanics?

Is that a big deal?

Here's a video on lubing seats from SweetProjectCars.

Nice video!

How do I get the seat cover off?

I have finally figured out why the memory seat doesn't work overnight but during the day.

The difference is the key lock/unlock feature.

We never lock the car overnight so we never have to unlock it in the morning. Unlocking is required to "identify" the key.

Don't feel bad, no one else thought of it either. (Ha)

 

Had a similar problem, had to push the seat button every time I went to drive the car. Turned out the wifepo was changing the seat when she drove (we also don't lock in it end the garage). So it was squishing-up to the steering wheel after I put the key in.
