Title: red light under my driver seat
Post by: jcassity on July 02, 2009, 01:39:51 AM
took the seats out to wash the 20th carpet.

while standing by the car, the red light on the floor under my driver seat started to toggle and flash.  wtf?

it just did it out of no where. 

any thoughts?

Well, now you've done it.  You've activated the homing beacon.

The mothership will arrive shortly...

Might be the memory seat module, and it might be freaking out because nothing's attached to it...

so ,,
i also had the matts laminated,, or is should say I had a roll of lamination plastic in the garage.  Figured i might need that stuff one day.

ford pn#s on the rear but no ford pn on the fronts

no foot will ever touch them.


I'm runnin with my laminated window sticker in the rear pass window nowadays also.  I trolled through the local dealership with the sticker facing the sales guys,, they eyeballed the hell out of my car.  More of a "whats that car" kind a look.  Most of them looked really young,like in thier mid / early 20's.

God.  I can't believe you guys call yourselves ford fans.  It's obviously the flux capacitor.  Have you been having trouble getting over 88 mph?  The red light means its low on dilithium.  Too bad the government has been phasing out dilithium since the early 90s.  Now you will have to convert the entire system over to trilithium b.  Take it over to a shade tree garage and slip the guy a 50 to fill it back up with the good stuff. 

You can try installing this generic kit.

Good luck!

Came across it in a book, It's the seat control processor. There should be a white test button next to the red light for the module.
It's flashing because you unplugged it.
