Q: How do you disable the lumbar support in a power seat?

asked by on November 18, 2017

My husband has a really bad back and the lumbar support makes it worse. How do you disable the lumbar support? It keeps inflating and it puts a lot of pressure on his back. It's an older vehicle that we are working on, '01 Chevy Suburban; so for now disabling this function would do just fine.
