power seats won't work

**transamgirl89** · 03-27-2011, 04:20 PM

So I just put a set of TA seats out of a 97 in my 01 Camaro and when I got everything plugged in and installed I realized the air lumbar doesn't work. I press the buttons on the driver seat and all I hear is a clicking noise but no air going to the seats. I have the TA wiring harness installed. The driver seat is not power as far as moving back and forward that I know. There are 4 buttons on the side and I know 2 of them control the lumbar. Could someone please help me out. I'm pretty sure the air pump under the pass seat is clogged or has failed completely.

can you ppost up a pic or a diagram on how you currently have everything wired? could be that the lumbar motor is shot tho

I had the air bladder in one of my seats go bad years ago. The dealership fixed it under warranty. Symptoms were just as you describe yours.

Is it something I can fix myself or do I have to take it to the stealership? Where is the bladder in the seat?

Also my passenger seat will not go back or forwards.

So the drivers side will go back and forward but the lumbar doesn't work, and the pass side doesn't do anything?

Did you check and make sure that all of the wiring was correct, and I would def say that the motor is most likely shot!!

No they were already out of a wrecked WS6 when I got them. He said they worked when they were in the car.

May sound stupid but is the lumbar air line under seat disconnected? couldn`t figure what the heck it was til I noticed the air lines.

Nah everything is hooked up. I took the passenger seat out over the weekend and couldn't see anything visually wrong with the wiring so it may be the motor or the air pump is clogged.
