Side bolsters
We were working on my son's Ruby seats (vetteweiser) and then checked mine. Seems the side bolsters don't work, along with the air pumps. I know why the air pumps don't work, but can't figure out the side bolsters. They are electric right? The driver's side has a clicking noise when I push the button but the passenger side makes no noise. Any ideas as to what is wrong with the bolsters? Also, where is the best place to get the pump repair kits? TIA Perry :seeya

For the pump, just get some rubber dishwashing gloves and cut out a gasket.
As far as the side bolster switch, get some contact cleaner at a computer store and spray into the switch. that should fix the switch.
I have owned 3 1993 Vettes and have done this on all 3 of them and its had worked fine.

:cheers: Mikez40 for the good tip. Vetteweiser and I fixed the seat pumps in our Rubies this afternoon. Took about 2 hours to do the four of them. Will look at the bolsters another time. :seeya
