Default Bolsters

Hey, if the things inflate, that means the pump is working, but not letting the air out means the bleed valve is not opening. The best way to fix it is to pull the seat out and find the pin that supplies power to the pump/valve module through the control box under the seat. Supply battery power to it and eliminate the valve as trouble first then backtrack to the power source coming from the control box then back to the switch on the side of the seat, which is more than likely the problem since it gets a lot of abuse from getting in and out of the car.
