Default Side Mirros Re-Adjusting when starting vehicle

This has been going for about a month, but when I turn the ignition, my steering wheel will move & hesitate then move to its proper position. Both side mirrors will move inward. The side mirror switch is in the neutral position. I noticed that my seat memory switch is not working. I have not seen a similar issue on the forum. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Not sure if a bad seat memory switch is causing the problem.

Default Have you tried using memory switches 2, 3 or 4? It does sound like....

an issue with your seat memory system. Try setting your preferences into setting #2 and coding your key to setting #2 as well (if you can).

Default Thread jack... I've noticed that my seat no longer moves forward or backward with each key

Or if I push any of the buttons the seat moves with the exception of forward and backward movement. Whats really weird is that it used to work and just stopped recently. There is a loose plug under there but I dont see a connection and dunno if it was ever plugged in.

Your remote calls for different setting. You need to program the remote to your seat memory.

small click will be heard.
Turn off ignition shift seat etc then leave car -lock allow alarm to arm then unlock and when you open the door all should move back to position.
If it does not work try procedure with the key in the door.
Repeat with subsequent keys using different numbers

Default Re: Side Mirros Re-Adjusting when starting vehicle

Just an update: This event occur about 90% and isn't tied to me opening the car locks with the remote. It occurs with the turning of the ignition. There is also a correlation to a hesitation in the telescoping wheel and the both side mirrow changing position. Also, the seat memory is no longer working at all (all buttons). I will try the various suggestions this weekend and report back.
