you dont have a hose you have a schrade valve right between the taillights, and by the trunk latch

If the hose is missing, make one. With a clamp or screw on fitting on each end. Turn it on, and have a friend press the center of the schrader valve. Does the pump under the hood run?

if the lumber airs up that means the pump runs right?

uhhh dont think the lumbar runs off of the air compressor. when it does work, sounds kind of like a crest spinbrush. best way i can think to describe it

I turned mine on and then I just pushed in on the center of the valve in the trunk. if you hear air,it works.

went out and tested the one on my 95 parts car. i hear a relay clink and a little air comes out. what parts of the system should i check to fix the problem. when i push the butten nothing clicks or buzzes.
