TermiPeteNZ 1318 Report post Posted October 27, 2017 Hi all - has anyone hit a problem with an electric seat reclining by itself randomly, which in turn triggers the alarm's motion sensor? Happens to be the driver's one. Any advice appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted October 27, 2017 Maybe the switch jamming against the seat shroud. Have had this on other vehicles 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TermiPeteNZ 1318 Report post Posted October 27, 2017 Cheers for advice guys - will let you know how I get on. At least I can turn off the motion sensors (internal/tilt) by pressing button 2 twice. Went off 4 times today .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3317 Report post Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) there's a logical explanation for this. let's put that aside, and consider the following. your car needs an exorcism. I suspect you've picked up a grade 2 phantasm on your trip around Red Rocks, Pete. Who you gonna call? Edited October 27, 2017 by Olaf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TermiPeteNZ 1318 Report post Posted November 5, 2017 Hmmm. Still not sure about the seat side of things - doesn't seem to be happening (much). Regarding the alarm going off randomly - I did a bit of a search and the usual culprit is the hood switch. Disconnected it and no alarm triggering since....
