If you wade through my attempts to be funny in the first email,
I suspect you are right.  The passenger's seat does not have memory,
nothing was touching the passenger seat controls and further they
had not been touched of moved for at least a couple of months.

The real question about something being shorted or pinching the
wires between the seat controls and motors - is that there's nothing
extra under that seat, nothing foreign that could be abrading or
pinching the wires under the seat.

I was wondering if anybody else has had a problem with these wires
becoming shorted, abraded, or pinched all by themselves?  Since the
problem stopped after I manually operated the seat up/down switch,
I wonder if it might be a failure in the control switch?

I hate to start taking half the world apart to investigate if somebody
else has seen the problem before and figured it out ...
