Default Factory Seats - No bolster

I have a 2001 TA and the factory seats do not seem to be functioning correctly. The power motors in the driver's seat work, but the bolster buttons on both seats do not seem to work. When I press on one of the buttons on the driver's side to adjust the bolster, i hear a click on the passenger side underneath the seat. any ideas? is there a special fuse that works just for the lumbar? hope i will not have to buy all new seats....

Check the hoses underneath the seats, on my T/A they had come loose I guess it happens when the seat is moved forward and back (mine was getting cought on the tracks)

No, they are not stuck. there is a pump of some sorts under the passenger side. that is where the clicking is coming from. i think the pump might be bad. any ideas on how much one would cost and where to get it?

If you hear a "click" the air pump under the pass seat must be dead . . .

I will about gaurantee it is a dealer only item, and you know what that means, it i s going to cost. Just a guess but I would say around 200 depending on location. Unless it really bugs you I would just let it go.
