AQ9 seat airbag repair/replace?

[crazyd]

Has anyone ever tried to repair or replace the airbags in the AQ9 seats? Is there a repair kit or a replacement p/n available for them somewhere?

All i an say is BIG PITA. Can you get another seat easy?

I think Ken may know how to disassemble AQ9s but they are not easy.

What doesnt work?

Just the stuff that uses air to operate, lumbar and headrest. All the motors are fine. As for getting replacements, well, slim to no chance in this part of the country. They're otherwise in excellent condition.

Is it the bladders that don't inflate or the air pump that doesn't work? I know that a lot of times the lines come disconnected, I've fixed a few different cars by just plugging something back in.

 

Happened on my aurora, actually.

The hoses and pump I think are okay, the bladders will inflate but they don't stay inflated for very long.

Check the air lines under the seat. make sure that the black hose that goes to each seat is fully secured also. Does anything retain, r does everything on both seats not hold?
