Default Sport adaptive seats no longer adapting

Hi
I tried to adjust the sport adaptive seats in my 11C4S toad and found that they no longer adjust. Passenger side still works, and mirror still flips down when I'm in reverse... but no luck on my seat (none of the adjustments). I'm going to call my dealer tomorrow, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I have a track day next week, so I hope this is something dumb I can do myself.... But I'm afraid it won't be.

Bummer; car only has 3600 miles on it.

Thanks !

Early on, mine got stuck while on a short road trip. They did a quick fix under warranty. It was the lumbar inflation thingy.

You wrote....passenger mirror still flips down when you put in reverse...Is this standard on all 997?

I don't think so; I think it came with something, but don't remember which.

I thought it was. But mirror dial must be in the neutral position, I think. Owners manual addresses this.

Only happens when the mirror dial is in the passenger side position for me, then reverse will tilt down the mirror. If the dial is in center or driver side positions, the mirror doesn't tilt. I also think this is part of some optional package, but I can't remember what it is.

Took the flashlight down to the car, found the right fuse (I think it was E2), pulled it. Looked fine. Pushed it back in. Seats now adapt and adjust... but I got a PSM failure error. So I shut the car off, and pulled that fuse (row C F8 I think). Still there. I'm reading that that happens when a change is made to any part of the electrical system ?

At least my seat moves - I have a track day next week and need to lower it so I can fit my head inside the car with my helmet on ;-)

I had the lumbar support on my non-sport adaptive seats go wonky occasionally, inflating without me telling it to. Had to press the seat memory button to get it back to where it should be
