I had to laugh when I read this.

Last month, I was pulling the light bulbs from my center console
(anti-lock, rear defrost, etc.) to replace them and check the
cigarette lighter for a short.

Well, as soon as I plugged one of the switches back in, the driver's
seat suddenly started moving forward on its own!

I was pretty freaked, wondering what $$$$ electrical system I had just
screwed up, until I realized that I had leaned in far enough to rest
my hip bone on the seat switches....
