Memory seats question

[BadinBlack]

I have an 01 Lincoln Continental with almost every option in the book. I have a question about the memory seats. I know there's a feature in the menu called Seat Access, you turn it on and when you pull out/put in the key the seat is supposed to move forward/backward 2 inches. When I bought the car last week if you put the key into the ignition the driver seat would automatically slide forward a bit then go back when key is removed but now it doesn't do this even though I opted to turn the Seat Access feature On in the menu. Anyone know what could be causing this fluke, it's not a huge deal, I'm wondering if it's a wiring issue or something with the ECC.

I have a 98 Conti. Not sure if this is the answer, but I turned off the memory feature by turning the little switch on the key fob to the off position. Have you noticed that switch on the back of your fob?

I too have the switch off, as the previous owner had it on for the life of the car and it ended up stripping out the main forward-backward movement gear. Only way I can move the seat forward is to push the base of the chair forward from the back seat while pushing the forward movement button forward with a yardstick.
