Does anyone out there know how I can lose the memory function of the driver's seat on my 1996 VDP but still have all of the seat position actions?

I hope so b/c mine is doing weird things.

Flip the rotary switch on the side of the steering column from "auto" to "off".

X300 and X308 memory seating systems are VERY SIMILAR.
You need to look at both 15-50 Front Seat Memory – Potentiometers in X300
and 501-51 Memory Systems in X308

I uploaded these TSBs several years ago in the large file downloads.

You might want to just take Doug's advice and just switch it to manual.
The labor is around 5 hours and the position sensor potentiometers are about $150 each (there are 5).

You might replace one or two and some are easier to replace than others but I always recommend replacing ALL at the same time (do it once and do it right).

I have not done this repair in several years but I remember it was about $1500 total when I worked at the Dealer.

Everyone wanted it done under Warranty but hardly anyone did it 'customer-pay' when the warranty expired.

Read the TSBs and make a decision.

Even with the steering column in the off position, the seat will still move from memory.

Thanks for the replies.
