electrical problem i think

The lumbar buttons on my passenger side control the lumbar on the driver side. How could this have happened and how can I fix it?

When you adjust passenger side, the drivers side servo runs also. This is normal. Verify that it's actually moving the drivers side and then go from there.

Keep in mind that the lumbar control is just 2 bags of air in the seats. The pump is located in the driver's seat and feeds both front seats.

Lol

Sorry to disagree with you Indy I did some homework and The Aurora has 2 air bladders in each seat and one centralized pump under the drivers seat. The Riviera has a servo strap system.

I have a 97 and if I push hard on the seatback, I can feel a bar(?) move behind the cushion. Maybe the assembly line ran out and I got the Riv's.

I looked up a 99 thats what mine is I'll see if I can check on the 97. Yours makes noise on the drivers side when the passenger hits the buttons ?

Yep!

MY driver lumbar buttons dont work at all. The back window will not go down. The passenger side door does not unlock unless done manually.

These will sometimes work when the drivers door is open (not uncluding the passenger lock)

This car has a shitload of wires. Id hate to be the mechanic.

Indy,,, I checked on that a 97 is air bag seats. And shazapple speaking of shitloads of wires I would suspect a broken wire or two from the drivers door to the body. And some days I hate being a mechanic !

What causes the up and down movement? Does it inflate different "pockets"? It feels like a hard bar in there to me.

Just like an air shock system pumps up but also has release valves. One lower bag and one upper bag. They feels like a pillow on my sore back !

Since you're on now, how can I get my sentinel to work? Is the relay really up in the fender? How do I check it w/o an ohm meter?

I'll see what I can find out Monday, Our good pc isn't reading the dvd's. I'll try the standby it has the info just getting to use it is a pain. The headlights not coming on ? You don't have the switch the whole way down ? (had 2 ask)

No matter where I dial it, nothing happens with key/engine on. Have to turn on manually. It's the only feature on the car that did'nt work when I bought it.

I'll get some info on Monday.

Thank you!

Indy I have 15 pages of fun for you I didn't have time to cypher it. PM me if you want I can scan it zip it and mail it to you if you want.

Hey bustedratchet!!!...I, too have a problem with the headlight sentinel, but just the opposite as Indy...with the sentinel ON, my lights stay on ALL the time, regardless of the intensity of the light outside. If you have time, I'd like to peruse the pages you sent to Indy!

Thanks in advance,

Seems the sensor "somehow" dropped into the dash / defroster panel. Pulled it out, set it into the hole, and WOW!...it works now.

Good for you, lot easier than 15 pages of troubleshooting !

...I do have a question though...it seems to take a bit more "darkness" than it should to make the lights come on. Is a replacement sensor in order?
