Has anyone experienced 3rd row seats in a retracted position mechanize itself when the vehicle is not occupied. I can heat it when entering the drivers side but recently heard it while working in the garage. 2019 XLT. Just weird.

You may be hearing the fuel pump located in the fuel tank priming to achieve start-up pressure. It makes a low frequency thumping when the drivers door is opened. The fuel tank is located below the 3rd row seat and the sound is a similar frequency to the rear seat motors. It is priming in anticipation of a start event. Curiously, it will do the same thing under seemingly random conditions when turned off and doors closed as well.

I was installing my brand new Hellwig Rear stabilizer bar yesterday and the pump primed up while I was underneath the tank installing the bar. The truck had been turned off and on the ramps for ~20 minutes at that point with all doors closed. I nearly experienced a boxer changing event.

Thanks for the reply. Well that clears up that mystery. Must be we are the only 2 that have experienced that.
