Seat Adjustment Turns on A/C... Any Ideas?
Owner of 04 Vert, garage kept, so doors are unlocked when I usually enter my car to drive. After getting in the car and starting engine, I then push the #1 Seat Adjustment button to move the Drivers' Seat to the "forward" position in which I like to drive the car. Well, I noticed today that when I do this, I hear a somewhat noticeable "click" sound from under the hood and my A/C turns on, along with the "airflow from outside." I guess this has been going on for some time but today was the first time I noticed the sound (click) under the hood.
I tried moving the seat and pushing the number 2 "set" seat position, and nothing. Tested each setting about 5 times (with the car running) and clearly this only happens when I push the number 1 seat button. Any idea's what component might be at fault? I've also been experiencing a parasitic drain that I've dealt with by keeping the car on a slow charger when I'm not driving it everyday. I wonder if this could also mean that the short or drain is somewhere between the link here with my seat adjustment button and the A/C "on/off" control button.
Asked again, anyone experience this and have a possible solution? Thanks for all your help.
