Do you have leather seats? My cloth power seats don't have a power lumbar support. There is a big knob on the left side of the seat that adjusts the lumbar support.

I think a fair amount of these fail. Friends truck it did and from time to time a post on sites pops up about this. It was later changed to a manual lumbar adjust. It comes with the ENTIRE seat back. But I have read where a few have taken it apart and I guess gluded/fitted broken pieces back togather and got it going again. Do a search function for other posts in the past.

I have the knob on the side, it returns to the off position all by itself. Has done that since it was new. Must be made by the same guys who make the audio equipment!

I have one of those "self adjusting" knobs too.

my trucks manual lumbar support failed at 30k the dealer replaced the entire seat back assy. Im guessing that you could take it apart and fix it ive had a few seats apart and mine felt like the nut stripped out that causes the bolster to expand. I didnt however get to see the broken part,

Fixed mine yesterday while I had the seat out to replace the broken seat rail. Works great now. I forgot how much the lumbar helped.



Thanks for the link Spooled-up!

Any articles on the manual KNOB type repair would be appreciated too. I over-tightened mine and like it at full support. It sucks without it.
