95 A4 Sport Seat Motor Problem

[Mr. Peabody]

As you may have seen in the new member intro section, I've just purchased a beautiful 95 Green/Tan Coupe and I've run into my 1st delima:

When the car was purchased, and for the past 1200 miles, the sport seat lumbar adjustments all worked fine on both seats. Now suddenly however none of the lumbar adjustments work for either seat.

1) The switch that controls the fore/aft/up/down movement of the seats works just fine.

2) The selector switch that selects eithr the driver seat or the passenger seat works just fine (see (1) above).

3) The fuse for the sport seats is good.

4) The plugs under the front of each seat are connected.

5) Whenever any of the lumbar rocker switches are depressed in either direction you hear an audible "click" comming from the motor under each seat.
Both motors "click" at the same time. There is no motor action however. It's not a situation where the pump functions but the blader doesn't hold air, no air is being pumper or purged.

Is there a certain relay that I need to check or does this sound like a short problem somewhere?

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

Welcome to CAC .The pump on the pass side under the seat is usualy the problem.

Two things to check.
1.Remove the seat bottom pass side .Clip in the front center of seat push it down and back ,bottom should release.
Push button to inflate seat any of them.
If pump makes noise then it is working?

2.Put eather seat all the way foward and unzip the back starting at the bottom .Remove yellow foam and see if the plastic bags are inflating.
Check all blue white red black lines and see if all connected.
Let me know.
