Lumbar Control Switch: Description

The ten-way power seat option includes an electrically operated lumbar support mechanism. A single two-way momentary power lumbar switch is located on the outboard seat cushion side shield of each front seat, just forward of the other power seat switches (Fig 1 ). The power lumbar switch is secured to the back of the seat cushion side shield with two screws, and the switch paddle protrudes through a hole to the outside of the shield. The switch paddle is located in a shallow depression molded into the outer surface of the seat cushion side shield that helps to shroud it from unintentional actuation when entering or leaving the vehicle.

The power lumbar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
