- 2005 Explorer Eddie Bauer
2005 Eddie Bauer with power adjustable pedals. The pedals magically reset themselves to the all-the-way-forward position whenever "unlock" on the remote is pressed. I'm 6'5" and never need the pedals to be moved forward - always want them as far back as possible.
I have tried:
- Setting all memory functions to my preferred configuration (seat back, pedals back). No change.
- Leaving battery unplugged overnight for a nice hard reset. No change.
- Turning automatic locks off (this partially "solves" it in that it doesn't lock the car automatically, but anytime I need to lock it - like when I park somewhere sketchy - the problem obviously reoccurs).
Is this normal behavior for the pedals? What else can I try to remedy this? I want to be able to unlock the car without the pedals moving around willy-nilly like there's a poltergeist in the car.
I've thought about yanking them out of there, but don't want to rob potential future owners of a useful feature.
