Seat memory problem.

Plainsman · March 5, 2004

If you are in memory 1, turn off the truck, start the truck and press memory 1 again the back moves slightly.

I can recreate this 100%. The dealer is baffled. I can recreate in memory 2 as well.

I'll play with mine today and see if it moves too...

Is it caused from the Easy Exit setting being set at just "a little different" from the setting in #1. You can set both the setting for driving and for exiting for each.

Is your truck on driver #1? Check you keyless entry and see if you are using the driver #1 key fob. The truck knows if you use #1 or #2 and adjust accordingly when unlocked. If you open and start it and it is driver #2 keys used it will set it up for #2. When you press #1 seat position it will adjust accordingly for that. Try setting the #2 seat position really far back or close and see if it adjust to that position when you start it.

Truck is in driver 1. 90% of the time the truck is unlocked so I dont use the fob. The easy exit is dramaticly different than #1 as is #2. Im 6'2 and my wife is like 5' 8.

So does anyone elses move?

The first thing the dealer thought was the EZ exit thing but its far different than the #1.

Anymore ideas guys?

I cannot get mine to keep a program. My seat will stay at the foward postion I program for a couple of days and then it does not move foward anymore on its on. I have to keep programming it this way. This morning my auto seat adjust does nothing, with key in or out. I drive it across town stop get out, get back in and it works fine. My mirror settings are starting to change on there on now. I have mine set for the key in and key out for easy access. I love the LT package but, these little electrical gremlins are disturbing. Anythoughts on this before I head to the dealer. The truck is only a month old with 2300 miles.

More problems, last time they re-flashed somthing to fix the seat problem. Now the mirrors dont fold in <sigh>

Back to the shop again.

My seat demons only come out every three or four months. Every once in awhile I have to reset my position because it somehow "learns" a different position. Take last night for example... Four in my truck, so I put my seat forward for my buddy. Went into a restaurant for dinner and when we came out my seat should have reset when I unlocked my doors. It didn't, and stayed in the forward position all evening. This morning I went out and it was still hadn't reset, so I had to "reteach" it.

It's weird, it sucks and it's annoying...but probably isn't something that I can recreate at the dealership, so I live with it

I got flashed again and now my mirrors tilt down before they fold thats kinda cool I guess. And now I have a new option in the menu, "Curb View Assist" or somthing like that. Now the mirrors tilt down when I backup. Interesting.

Before my driver 1-2 did not adjust the outside mirrors now they do.

I guess these are all good things. The backseat still twitches when you tap 1 again

So how can I access all these settings in the truck? I would love to plug my laptop into the truck and poke around.

It's my understanding that you need the steering wheel mounted controls to access most of the options. I know that when we bought the wife's '04 Tahoe, that is what we were told...

HTHs,

James.

Did you get this problem corrected? I just bought a 2004 Silverado LT extended cab. I'm having problems with the driver's side mirror remembering its settings. It forgets the settings every few days which is starting to be a pain in the a$$. Otherwise the truck has been great so far but I do wonder how many problems I will have with these fancy controls when the truck gets older.

Just wanted to let all you guys know that GM is aware of the problem and has a bulletin out to let us dealers know.They said for now there is no fix but they are working on a software update to fix the problem.

I'll let you know when I see an updated bulletin with the fix.

Shawn T · September 16, 2004

Thank god everybody else is having this problem. My 03 keeps its memory sporadically. Usually between 3 days and a month. I've tried the "easy access" difference route and it worked for 6 months. Now I'm back to square one. My wife is alot shorter than me and this is a major problem because fob 2 is set for her and fob 1 is set for me. I was afraid to approach the dealer with this problem because it is almost unbelievable. I cannot imagine the software language being that difficult in a vehicle. You would think that GM could find a decent programmer. I've also noticed that when she programs her radio stations for fob 2 they are screwed up about a month later. Lets just keep our fingers crossed that they come up with a fix because this problem really pisses a guy off when you go to get in your truck and the mirrors, stations, and seats are in completly different spots.
