v70 electric memory seat wont remember me

andycapandy · Feb 12th, 2007, 20:33

Hi,
Can anyone help me, I have just bought a 2002 v70 d5 se with electric drivers seat with 3 memory settings.
I have read the manual and done what it says but the seat and mirrors still remember the previous owners postions, which is nothing like mine so everytime i unlock the care i have to adjust the mirror and seat, which after a few weeks is starting to get on my nerves. I have disconected the battery to see if it would lose the memory but no luck.
I only got one key/fob with the car so can't use any other.
please help me!
Thanks Andy

Im sure I had to hold down the "mem" and "#1" button for several seconds, until I felt a vibration in the seat. Is that what it says in the manual?

How long did you disconnect the battery for? Mine always get wiped when the battery's been disconnected to work on the car.

Hi
I have just had another try today with 10 mins spare and have managed to get the seat to stay in the correct place, But the mirror keeps adjusting itself. I now think the mirror is at fault (or something controling the mirror) as it goes all the way up to the very top and clicks several times before stopping, which nobody would have the mirror adjusted in this postion ( unless they drove down the road with there head sticking out of the sunroof which my car has not got anyway).
The other option is to disconect the mirror but the wife also drives my car so that could be a bit of a problem.
When i had the battery disconected it was off for at least one hour as i was fitting my towbar at the time and it gave me better access to the bolts holding the rear bumper, So it seems strange that it did not lose the memory.
Any more idears???
Thanks guys, Andy

Andy,

I know it was last year you raised this memory seat problem, did you resolve it? I have the same situation with a newly acquired '04 V70; on my previous 850 the memory worked like a dream. The V70 memory seems to have a mind of it's own, as do the mirrors.
