Seat bladder air pump 1994
Now, none of the lumbar or side supports will function on my 1994 corvette sport seats. The air pump below the passenger seat sounds like it's working ok, which makes me think the diaphragm inside is leaking, and I can find no rebuild kit, or even any already rebuilt pump for sale. Everything I find stops at 1993. Seems so odd. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a kit or an already built air pump for my 1994? TY

Have you checked the air line connections? Are you certain the switch is fully functional? Are all your electrical connections correct?
Im guess if none of the bladders are working it's something other than the bladders itself. I found the sport seat setup to be complicated and confusing.

Dont buy the bladders that someone on here was making
these promptly blew out on me
at first i atrributed that to the cold, and they sent me another one. That one also blew out right away, even in warm weather

Agreed...this sport seat is way too hard to work with. If I could just get my drivers side supports out of their tesnest position which diesn't give me enough room for my hps and ribs, I'd be content.

yes just remove the seat bottom, unclips at the front from the plastic frame and hit the lever behind the headrest to lean the seat back forward. Then at the very bottom of the seat back fish out with your finger the remainder of the zipper and track that is tucked away into the seat. You will find the zipper at the end, mine didnt have the pull handle on the zipper so I used a paperclip as a pull handle. Then just unzip it all the way to the top. If you need more access you can undo the plastic channels that are at the bottom they literally pop out quite easily.

ing and making a diaphram for the pump, but if that doesn't work, I'll try to get the side supports improved some way by hand. Thanks again. Doug K.
