Default power lumbar switch issue

My drivers seat lumbar switch does not operate. I have power to move forward and back and up and down motion... I do have lumbar adjustment to pass seat... So i do not think it could be a fuse issue.... When i hit the lumbar switch i hear nothing. So my thinking its a bad connection or defective pump and not the bladder.... I see used pumps on e bay going for around $75.00... Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.......

mine does the same as yours. but when sitting in the car with everything off I can hear my pump run like it is trying to keep the system pressurized . like the switch remains closed

Great!

But sad to say, those bladders WILL FAIL. Just a matter of time and use.
