Default Power Seat Gremlins

The vehicle in questions is my 1997 Trans Am. Factory dual power leather seats. On the passenger seat, both the side bolsters and lumbar support inflate and deflate normally, no problems there. The driver seat side bolsters work but the lumbar does not. When you press the button to inflate the driver side lumbar support, the switch clicks, the motor engages for a fraction of a second, and then it immediately cuts off. This problem has been present since I bought the vehicle in January of 2015. Any ideas?

Your 10 second Honda line is outright hilarious. ROFL.

Oh those seats, problematic is an understatement!

Figured it out. The air line was stopped up somewhere between the pump and the driver seat so I just tee'd off the line for the side bolsters on that side so they both aired up at the same time. Did that Thursday.

Doesn't matter now, was in a wreck last night. Enjoyed it for two whole ******* days.
