Is this possible...
The bladder in my passenger seat fills up and holds air properly, works well. My drivers side seat fills up and deflates... Can I swap the bladder and motor from one seat to the other? If so is it a hard thing to do? Any advice info is appreciated, Thanks

I don't know if you can or not, but it would be a lot of work, you would have to remove both seats, then remover the covers, the bladders and the motors. Then you would have to put them back together and after all that work you would still have 1 nonworking seat bladder. Wouldn't it just be easier to buy a new bladder for your drivers seat and fix that one.

Ive taken the drivers seat out and took the bladder and motor out... that was easy and actually quite fast. The bladder filled up but just would not hold air, there were no holes as it would hold air if I filled it up with my mouth just fine. The air comes back down and out of the motor on the drivers seat. They are expensive to replace, therefore right now, NO ONE that has ever sat in my passenger seat has ever touched those buttons, whereas I am ALWAYS trying to fill up the side bolsters that only last me a good 15 seconds. With that said, taking everything apart and out of the car is no problem, and will save me money for the time being until I feel like giving my passenger the same comfort I will hopefully be experiencing, that is if it will it work? So will it work?

If you have it out,,seems like you are pretty handy,,why not do a partial disassemble on it and see if you can fix it,,nothing to lose!! Don't know for sure,,seems the motor should be interchangeable,,I can't see the general stocking a lot of different parts to serve the same function!!
