Auto seat not working

On my 2009 F150, my driver seat doesn't auto set when I put my key in. It started doing this after I had it in the Ford shop for tune up and fluid changes.
Did they possibly change some type of setting? Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

Did you re-program the seat to where you want it? They may have changed the setting.

Yes, if I manually hit 1 it goes to my setting. It used to go to my setting when I put the key in the ignition.

After the seat goes to the preset, hold the button down until it beeps twice.

That should reprogram it to that key.

Hold the 1 down or the set button? On my wife's 2010 expedition I hold button down and it beeps twice.

If you are using 1 as your preset, hold it till it beeps twice.

If you are using 2, hold it.

It's funny. It holds the memory for a short time. I can take the key out and put it back in and it works fine . It's like the memory is lost after some time.

Anyway, several things can cause it to happen, it doesn't take much to inadvertently to change the presets, or at least in my experience.

My seats would "forget" the programmed settings after a few weeks, and I knew we did not accidentally adjust the 1-2 buttons.
First trip to the dealer, they cleaned all the connections---same problem.

Second trip to the dealer, I made them change the module under the seat that retains the seat/mirror/power pedal info. It has been stable ever since.

If you have warranty, insist they change your module.
