I've had my Model 3 Performance since last May and it's been trouble free until a couple of days ago. I tried to move the driver's seat forward and when I pushed the switch forward, all I heard was a clicking but the seat didn't move. When I tried to move it backwards, it also clicked, but the seat may have already been at the rear limit of its travel.
The rest of the seat motors (elevation, back tilt) worked fine. The passenger's seat motors all worked properly. I can find no obstructions to the seat movement that might have caused this problem.
The first appointment available for service was in a week, so in desperation, I rebooted the car and now the seat works! Weird...
I assume that the CPU monitors the motor drive current in the seat motors and disables a motor if it senses excessive current draw from the seat hitting an obstruction or a faulty motor.
Has anyone else had this problem? I hope I have "fixed" the problem, but I have my doubts if the cause is a bad sensor or a motor overcurrent issue.
Thanks,
Stan
