Power Seat Problem

[Skibug]

Ok, my lumbar air support will not stay inflated. I inflate the lumbar adjustment and it will slowly leak out in about 2 minutes. I can not seem to find any leaks anywhere.

Another problem is that the switch that is supposed to inflate the air chambers on the thigh portions of the seat inflate the lumbar section instead. What is going on here? Anyone have a clue?

Take the seat out or unbolt it, you need to look underneath to see whats going on

Ok, this was an old thread, and I have a similar problem. The dr side lumbar bag wont inflate, the motor winds, but nothing happens. Does any one have a picture of how this set up is supposed to look when operating correctly? I am going to take the seat out and flip her over. It would help to do a comparison with a picture. Thanks fellow x's!

don't have a picture... but when you "go at your seat", it will likely become quickly obvious... basically check to see if your motor runs (does according to post), then check the tube to feel if there is air coming out of the motor / blower when it runs. From there, the air travels thru a tube to a "switch" which either switches the air towards the bladder or allows the air from the blader to leak out (ie. deflate).

Cool, thanks! Hopefully it might be as simple as the tube came off, or the bladder has a tear in it. If the bladder is shot, are they all the same for all years? I would probably buy a new one, since I would be taking a chance buying one from the salvage yard. I will have my fingers crossed on this one!!!
