Tucked underneath my driver's seat is a pouch with wire harnesses sticking out of it that connect somewhere, they appear to feed under the carpet. What the heck is it?

Looks like an air bladder for the power bolster or lumbar adj. Haven't seen one under the seat.

Maybe that's it, maybe it fell out? All the functions of the power seat seem to work, definitely the lumbar works. When you say power bolster, are you saying that the seat cushion itself should rise up and down? Or I guess what I'm asking is should the cushioned part inflate? The seat itself moves up and down. Appreciate the help.

That is the bag that holds the air pump for the air bladders (Bolsters, lumber)

Aha, another mystery solved. So I'm good, then? Should it just be tucked under the seat or should it be latched onto something underneath? Love this forum!

mine was secured to something sturdy that would allow it to move with the seat. It was secured with zip ties underneath the seat...

Good luck

BTW you should hear it when you press the lumbar switch...
