Remove the lower drivers knee panel and locate the power seat relay to the left of the steering column mounted on a sub plate. Pull the relay and jumper pin 8 to pin 2 (the two middle cavities) with spade connectors and a short piece of #14 wire and done. Your seat will now do whatever you want them to do when you want them to do it without this problematic relay.


The wife is so happy without this German over engineering. I can see safety issues if the seats were memory seats that should not move if the seat belts are fastened. They move when I want them...every time and without that $50 relay.
