MNulticounter seat control hose is loose - G550
It appears that one of the hoses connected to the control module on the drivers side seat has come loose. Upon startup, the pneumatic motor will activate for approximately 30 seconds but none of the bolsters will inflate. I have tried to remove the control module to reattach the hose to no avail. Any tips on how to do so?

Bonus question - I need to replace my headunit. How difficult is it to remove and fit a new one?

Thanks!

Have a look at this thread... the special rubber seals do not tolerate extreme heat well before causing motor to overheat.
