replacing memory seat control unit

[marilynmichael]

I took my 2002 Targa to Porsche to figure out why the car would not lock.  After about $5K of various and sundries that I cannot remember (I want to forget) -- the car locks.  But, at the end, the mechanic told me that they something was wrong with the memory seat control unit and that to get the car to lock, they had to unhook it.  Now--I know all of these things seem to be tied together in a Porsche--so, at that point, the guy just put the seat in a middle position and I left with $5K less in my pocket, a car that could now lock, but a driver's seat that cannot be adjusted.  He said something about how it could be plugged in temporarily to move it, but then the car wouldn't lock, etc.

 

Argh!

 

So---they quote me around $1500 to replace the memory seat control unit.

 

Is this something I can buy and replace fairly simply myself?  My backside is getting pretty sore.

 

Thank you

 

Michael
