Help on my diesel

2017 f250 king ranch 6.7 12k odometer.
Went to get in it today and the memory seat was not functioning.
No matter how many times I pushed the button on the door.
The steering wheel and seat were stuck in the easy exit position.
Was able to adjust seat with the seat controls but the steering wheel wasn’t moving.
I started vehicle and everything ran fine nothing on dash indicating any problems.
Had to drive it withe steering wheel in the easy exit position.
Also noticed my digital speedometer had changed from mph to kph.
I pulled into a parking lot and went into the settings and changed it back to mph.
I started the truck again and the memory seat settings started working again.
What is going on here?
Anyone else have an idea?
Thanks

When others have had crazy electrical problem as u are describing they have changed the batteries and that fixed all the gremlins.
How old are your batteries if its a 2017 with only 12k miles then it has not been driven much.
Test your batteries replace as necessary both need to be done with the diesel

I think it's kind of like a computer. Sometimes a re-boot will get things back in order

Batteries that are old (could be almost 5 yrs) and not used much (only 12000 mi) can be going bad. With modern computerized vehicles who knows how things might react. Everything goes through ECM, BCM, CANbus, whatever, it has a computer control somewhere and bad batteries will cause something to malfunction. We just don’t know what nor where it will show first.
Good luck.
