My 01 with lumbar adjust had a problem where if during hard right turn the lumbar adjustment would happen by itself. Taking the switch plate off, I found the electrical wiring was rubbing along the seat rail (at the left thigh support) and the insulation had been compromised, Additional pressure on the thigh support by a heavy driver!s left thigh was inducing electrical connection.
You may want to see if similar thing is happening with your seat with the hot side wiring.
Good luck
