Wow, this is getting intricate, hahaha! ~raises hand~ Has anybody ever considered...asking?

Just ask them if they can avoid moving the seat while servicing your car. Is it really THAT big of a request? I mean they're not robots, hahaha. You don't have to start pulling fuses or breaking off buttons to confound their robot brains. Converse with them!

Working at dealerships as a tech for years, I tried not to move anyones seat or mirrow adjustments unless I really couldnt drive the car safely. On many RO's (repair orders) it was sometimes typed on the very first line: Customer requests that seat and mirrors not be adjusted. So, I didnt move them and drove it the best I could.I worked on several handicapped equipped vehicles where it was hand controls and very awkward seating. Just out of plain decency I wouldnt even think of touching those controls. And if a car was that much of a challenge to drive, I would ask the Service manager to drive it in and out for me.

Put a note in the fuse box saying not to install the fuse! Simple.

Wow. Never thought about it. My wife changes the seat when she drives, and usually it means whatever car I get in after her, if I'm not careful I nearly rip my kneecaps off getting in.

How about you just put a note on the seat controls then! I mean really, this whole thing is ridiculous.

I would not recommend this as the power seat circuit breaker also powers up the instrument cluster.
