Default Power seat - tilt up and down reversed

On my wife's 2003 Tahoe, the tilt for the front of the seat on the drivers side is reversed. If you want it to go up, it goes dowm and vice versa. Anyone have an idea of what is going on?

Thanks

have it re-flashed with the updated software at a dealer....you might try removing the seat ckt breaker located in the left IP fuse block for a few seconds,or just unhook the battery for a few seconds to see if it resets itself
theres the GM bulletin;

#PIT3598: Power Seat Switch Works in the Opposite Direction - keywords AN3 driver electrical intermittent memory module move operation recall reverse RKE - (May 26, 2005)


Subject: Power Seat Switch Works in the Opposite Direction


Models: 2003-2005 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT

2003-2005 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe

2003-2005 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Yukon Denali

with Seat, Front Individual (Non BKT) (RPO AN3)

2003-2005 HUMMER H2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:
Some customers may state that the Power Seat Switch will work in the opposite direction.

Example: The customer will move the switch forward and the seat will go backwards.

Recommendation/Instructions:
Do not replace the memory seat module or switch the wiring at the Power Seat Switch. A software anomaly exists with the memory seat module. Reprogram the driver seat module with updated software in Bulletin # 04-08-50-016B to resolve this concern.
