my 1993 f250 xlt 4x4, the lumbar doesnt work theirs no sound coming out of the air pump or nothing. also my cruise control doesnt work. please help

 

Did you try checking the fuse's?

 

yes and the fuse for the cruise control would affect the horn and the horn works. also for the lumbar the fuse isnt blown

 

i believe that the lumbar motor is under the seat, try and hit it with a hammer while pushing the button and it may jump start the motor again, and there is a cruise deactivation behind the brake pedal pull it off, then drive it while holding down the switch, activate the cruise and see if it works, if it does replace the switch. it gets kind of tricky holding the switch while driving and activating cruise so do it somewhere that there isn't a lot of trafic

 

thanks so much i will try that

 

allright ive tryed tapping it with a hammer and ive also rechecked the fuses. nothing happened i didnt check for the cruise control since its 11 atnight.

 

alright then if you have a test light connect it to ground disconnect the connector going to the lumbar motor turn the key to the on position and hold down the switch for the lumber, touch the test light to the leads if one lights up the test light that means that it is gitting power and you need a new motor if it doesn't light up than you have a switch or wiring problem. if you don't have a test light i suggest you buy one they are onlyabout $10-15 at any auto parts store and they are really handy when diaging any electrical problems

 

allright i will try that. how much does one cost anyways(motor)

 

hey i also found an old recall for it that may pretain to why it doesn't work, but it probably doesn't, sorry it is hard to find a price on one.

My 1996 F-350 has a lumbar that doesn't inflate, though the air compressor runs when I push the button. Do you think the bladder blew out?
