I had that happen on a 63. The spring inside the adjusting
switch gave up & was causing the switch to be constantly activated, except
when the breaker triggered it off.

Something in the switch or one of the "hot" wires has become
grounded. All a switch does is complete an electrical circiut. If the
insulation wears off of the right wire, or two wires together, the same thing
will happen. This is no more supernatural than operating the switch yourself
to make the seat move. I would recommend disconnecting the battery and not
driving the car until you figure this out, disconnect it, or have it
fixed. You could end up with a burned out seat motor, or at least many more
expensive damaged parts.

unbelievable seeing it, somehow it self-activated itself and is now
permanently as far forward as it can go....so what could have possibly caused
this to happen???
