2003 1500hd's Power Seat Up-n-down....

[sirjeffro]

What the heck?!?!? When adjusting the front of the seat cusion up or down the seat moves in the opposite direction of the switch. Press up and it goes down! Press down and the crazy thing moves up. Anyone else seen this? Also (and this may be my imagination) it seems that this adjustment does not have the full range of travel I remember.

Is this a "programming" issue or is there some mechanical snafu at work here?

Programming issue! Seen it before. Take it to the dealer and have them reprogram the drivers seat module.
