Default First problem?

My lumbar and bolster bladders inflate correctly but don't deflate. I can hear them and feel them inflate when I move the button left or up, but hear or feel nothing when pushed down or right.
My back likes them to be fully deflated so this is an issue with me.
It makes no sense that half of a controller's functions work and half don't... Any ideas? Or is the deflate process really so stealthy?

Deflate is silent in my car. That said, I had to fiddle with mine to figure out how to get them to deflate. I think you have to kind of twist the button at the lower point. My car is at home today otherwise I would go out there and double check.

you can hear a faint relay 'click' on deflate and hear a slight hissing (with the car not running) on the deflate positions.

My drivers switch is funky, sometimes the bolsters will move when I try to inflate the lumbar. Its like the 'gates' in the switch arent there. Passenger seat is fine, not really the best lumber/bolster switch I have seen on a car.
