I still have a short in my lumbar. There is a click that comes from the console area when I put in the lumbar fuse. The lumbar function works fine on both seats, but I know its draining the battery with the fuse in. I keep the fuse out. Any suggestions?

Congrats on getting the car fixed. And nice that you were able to do it yourself.
