Power Seats

Quailtail · November 5, 2006

My truck has power seats with settings for 2 drivers. I have yet to be able to get the settings to slide the seat back to allow exiting the truck and then go back to my settings when I get in.

I can get it to slide back when I remove the key but when I get back in put the key in the seat does not move to my original setting.

What am I doing wrong?

They've changed the way the memory options operate so much in the last couple years that I have a hard time keeping it all straight.

I assume you have a 2005 as listed in your profile? If so, as I recall, on the 2005, memory settings can only be recalled by pressing the "1" or "2" button on the door. The remote doesn't do it anymore nor does key in ignition.

Do you actually have a setting in the DIC that says to recall these things on "Key in"??

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Starting in 2005, all full size trucks and utilities have had a change to the way driver personalization operates. Vehicles equipped with memory seats RPO AN3 will now only recall seat, mirror (DL3), and pedal (JF4) settings for driver 1 and 2 from the buttons located on the driver's door panel. The key fobs will no longer recall memory positions. The DIC will no longer display Driver 1 or Driver 2 like in previous years.

Radio presets, HVAC (CJ2) and DIC (UK3) setting are now set to the vehicle, meaning there is only one setting for both drivers.

Recommendation/Instructions:

No repairs should be made as this is normal operation.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
