Sport Seat Problem/Question
Just bought this 93 so I’m still learning about the features. It has sport seats and both of the seat adjustment work OK. When I press the switch on the inside bolster, I hear one click and that’s all . What should it do. Is this the bladder problem. Thanks for any help.

That one click is the pump trying to pump up the bladder. Inside the pump is a small "NICKEL" size rubber diaphram. If you remove the seat bottom "reach under the leather cover and feal for a steel rod" you can see the pump motor. Remove the end cover and the diaprham housing will slide out.

Both seats in my 92 were like yours, it took a whole pump on one seat and just the diaphram on the other. There is a thread on fixing the diaphram with a rubber glove but I chose to replace the bad parts. I don't use the inflatable part of the seats but I wanted everything to work and it was cheap and very easy to fix. I like the picture of the snow vette in your pictures!!!!
