Seat Bladder Problem
'11 4LT GS. The seat bladder doesn't inflate anymore, but the rear lumbar support works fine. Seems to me that the seat inflated automatically when I started the car, but now it doesn't, and the switch on the seat doesn't get any reaction. I can hear the lumbar pump faintly when I adjust that, and I'm pretty sure I could faintly hear the seat bottom inflate before as well. Given that the lumbar pump works, it's not the fuse, because the circuit diagram shows just one.
So, some questions:
Are there two separate pumps or just one?
I've got a circuit diagram, and it shows that for whatever reason the circuit is hot all the time. But it doesn't show which connector under the seat the circuit passes through, but I'm guessing it's not the yellow one. Which one is it?
I know that power comes from the passenger footwell fuse panel. Are one of the two big blue connectors involved?
I guess it could be the switch on the seat side, too.
Has anyone else had this problem and were you able to fix it, and how?
TIA
