LRS Fault Light
The seat is working fine...
It's the Transmission Fault light now.
About a month ago my dash board was lighting up like a Christmas Tree with the Fault light also... I changed my Brake Light Switch and all lights ceased.

Try a hard reset.
Disconnect the battery, then using a jumper wire to connect the positive & negative leads for 10 - 15 min. I have no idea if this will fix the issue, but it's worth a shot.
To be perfectly clear
DO NOT SHORT THE BATTERY,
just connect the positive and negative cables.

Brake Light Switch files; also hard reset instructions.
This is a link to changing the brake light switch. A new one solves lots of funny warning message and light problems - all false but believable.

Below are instructions re a hard reset - tends to erase error messages and causes no bad side effects - a cheap first fix attempt.
Hard Reset Instructions
In brief, to start the hard reset process, open the hood but close all doors and let your 3 go to sleep - no radio display etc and no key in the ignition. This will take a couple of minutes and do not open any doors until the reset is completed. (I find that it is often a good idea to have the drivers door window rolled down and the key in my pocket whenever fooling about the vehicle.) Also when I play with a car battery, I remove any rings I have from my fingers, also my watch.
Disconnect the ground battery terminal from the main starting battery.
Disconnect the positive battery terminal from the main starting battery.
The reason for this order is if a wrench or loose battery cable ends grounds to the body, no arcing or other bad things happen.
(I assume that you only have one battery in your 3. If not, disconnect the others as well and leave them disconnected until after all is done.)
Connect the negative cable to the positive cable. (NOT the battery.) You will need a short length, (a foot or so), of light gauge, (14 to 18 gauge AWG, insulated stranded copper), wire to span between the battery cable ends as there is not enough slack in the positive and negative battery cables for the ends to touch each other.
Hold all together for about a minute or more, (at least two minutes), as you are discharging memory modules within the engine computer and elsewhere. Then it is suggested you then just let all sit disconnected for say ten minutes, (minimum five minutes), prior to commencing to put the battery cable ends back on the battery posts per the following order.
Reattach positive terminal to the main starting battery positive post.
Reattach negative terminal to the main starting battery negative post.
Start engine and hopefully no or fewer warning lights.
Reset time on the radio - note that the station presets are still there as not everything is erased. Nothing much else needs resetting either.
You can now connect up the other batteries if you have a multiple battery setup.
