Lumbar switch connection
Morning all (at least here),
while starting a diagnose on the lack of lumbar on both my seats (locks and soft close still worked) I found this condition with the control switch. Do the 500’s and 55’s have different controls units? On the back of the unit it says sl500 in paint pen so I assume this is a salvage part.
I cannot see where this air line would connect.
thanks!
edit: this is the exhaust port for releasing lumbar pressure

Do you have multi-contour seats? The 'switch' for the standard lumbar only seat is a pressure regulator, 100% mechanical, and has air connections. The 'switch' for the multi-contour seats, like the switch pictured, is 100% electrical. It connects to the control valve in the back of the seat and all air lines are connected directly to the control.
