Default sport seat lumbar and side bolster issue

My sport seats will move forward and back but when I try to adjust the lumbar or side bolsters, nothing happens. I do not hear any noises whatsoever. What could be wrong with them? thanks in advance

Even if the lumbar and bolster bags are are disconnected or bad, you should still hear an effort to inflate (although this could be the issue). If not,


1. Pull your codes, check for anything under SCM and IPC- These generally reflect one of the two connectors losing communication. The most common will reflect the SCM having lost communication with the IPC, and don't reflect problems with the actual modules. Seach for a code chart- There are a few here.


2. Are your grounds clean and tight?


3. If it's not something simple like a poor connection (unconnect and re-seat both connectors), you'll could be looking at the seat control module itself, which is mounted to the underside of the seat.


4. Less common, but possible is the seat control panel with the actual controls on it (it snaps onto the backside of the seat bezel)- Sometimes the flip levers and sliders can get dirty and go bad.
