Default Power seat question

Hi All,

The side bolsters on the driver's seat don't adjust in or out. The motor hums when pushing the button in both directions. But no movement. I don't suppose this is something simple, is it?

I think my biggest fear with this car is the electrical. Because what I know about electrical you can fit in a thimble and still have room left over.

Mike

...from a similar post....

"You have to take out the seat but its not hard and take a close look at the hose going to the bolsters- you may be able to splice around the problem if you can see the cut--also check to see that the hose hasn't gotten compressed by some part of the seat mechanism--if so reroute it and tie it to some part of the seat so it won't it won't happen again. The other possibility is a leak in the bolsters themselves. they are simply bladders that hold air but I don't think both would leak at once so at least one side would inflate temporarily. Sounds like a hose problem to me. Good luck!"

Thanks Dave.

I appreciate that. I did a search first. But I must not have phrased it right. Can I ask how/where you found it? Or is it just something you remembered.

Mike,

I didn't limit my search to one forum (in this case), although I DO have quite a bit of info saved from the 6 years I have been perusing Corvette-related forums.
