Half of Lumbar adjustment not working, driving me crazy! July 19, 2015, 09:29:17 AM Why isnt half the lumbar adjustment working on my XR7? The seat has that rocker button on the left side of the butt of the seat. The lumbar will inflate but not deflate, vice versa on the passenger seat. Im waiting responses from a few garages to see if they could repair this problem. It is a shame because i love these bucket seats, theyre great. The motors seem fine... Quote Selected

Half of Lumbar adjustment not working, driving me crazy! Reply #2 – July 19, 2015, 11:36:35 AM So the valve is passively engaged by the switch? No electrical components to the deflate of the bladder? Ill be taking a look in an hour... Quote Selected

Reply #4 – July 19, 2015, 03:08:20 PM I tried getting the switch box out so i could see but its too tight with little slack, im afraid of breaking something. Bother seats are unable to deflate. I cant see what the problem could be. Everything is neat and tidy in this car.. Quote Selected

Reply #5 – July 19, 2015, 03:52:35 PM The 87 EVTM says:The switch in inflate mode opens the air valve and turns on the compressor motor.The switch in deflate mode opens the air valve without turning on the compressor motor.Are you sure it is pumped up? Maybe the bladder has sprung a leak. Quote Selected

Case closed, i apologize for my ignorance... Lol. Ive been overly cautious cause this is my first car Quote Selected
