lumbar support

[pacu]

i had the lumbar support air sac blow out. anyone ever change one of these. how hard, if possible.

Are you sure it blew out?
Mine acted crazy and sounding like it was deflating but it ending up the switch was messed up. I fixed it by getting mideveil :fire: on it while driving

The Lumbar should be able to take alot of abuse.

BTW Welcome

Welcome to the site. You'll find all you need and more here. The only problem is the more you read..... the lighter your pocket book gets. Too many good ideas

check all your lines and the switch - it's "almost" impossible to actually blow out the bladder. In 10yrs of selling ford product i'd have to say that 85% of deflation problems are in this area unless you punctured the bag somehow

here's what happens- i inflate the support- and as soon as i take my finger off the switch it starts to deflate. when blown up fully it takes about five seconds to go flat. maybe not the bladder- maybe a connection? are there schematics in a chiltons repair book or does anyone have the layouts they can email.

Yup its the switch. Puch it, hit it, etc etc. Push it hard, back and forth, lightly.

Acutually I think if you slowly push it so that it starts to inflate and let it go it will work.

Not very technical, but it worked on mine

just checked, i wish it was the switch.....got it filled up and you can hear the air leaking out about midway up the seat.
started to open up the seat and everything is sealed around the cushion- changing it out looks like it's a pita.
