1988 Power Seats
I have recently purchased a 1988 Vette with the optional power seats with Lumbar adjustment via a small compressor under the seat. When I push the toggle switch on either seat I can hear the compressor working but I don't seem to get any difference on the firmness of the seat back when I try the 3 round buttons directly adjacent to the toggle switch(I didn't get an owner's manual with the car). Any body know the procedure for using these seats?

Sound like a problem I had with mine the bladders disintegrate over time. Most likely you will need new bladders you only need to remove the lower portion of the leather to install them you will need hog ring pliers and some hog rings
