Another Simple Question From A New Owner

[New97owner]

Hey again, I don't have an owners manual (yet)on my '97 GTS, and I see that under the seat on the right side of each seat, what looks like a pressure release for possibly a lumbar support? But I haven't saw a place to pump up the pressure. I know this seems like a stupid question, but is there a bulb to pump up, and where may it be located? Or am I only dreaming of the purpose for the gadget that looks like a pressure release setscrew on the small line it is attached to? Thanks again all...

I have a '98 and there is a bulb on the right side in front of the driver's seat for the lumbar support.

HMmmm..All that is on mine is the line, and the screw. Is the bulb on the end of the line? If so, mine is missing, as the line ends, with what looks like a push-in type connection.

 

[DEVILDOG]

Yes, the bulb is at the end of the line right before the pressure release.

Yes, bulbs are missing..May be able to find one that will work at a medical supply as I believe they are the same size as a blood pressure cuff. I would hate to see the viper tax markup on these!!

The bulb is also the same type as used in Pneumatic Control Applications for hvac and medical apps.

New97, check the back of your drivers seat for a pocket. When I bought my car I did not know there was a pocket, and low and behold, there was my owner's manual.

When I bought my Viper the lumbar bulbs were torn and cracked and would not work! I went to a medical supply store and got two for $12 ($6 each). They each work great now!
