2000 f150 xlt lumbar support
My 2000 f-150 xlt cloth trim drivers adjustable lumbar is inoperative. it is the type with the wheel you spin on the lower side of the seat to adjust firmness. You can tell that it just barely changes firmness from a totally unscrewed wheel to fully tightened.
Is this a relatively simple fix, or would I be disassembling seat cushions etc. and wishing I had never even tried to fix it? It was a nice feature when the truck was new and it worked OK!
Thanks
Ron

Is the mechanism replaceable, or would this be an integral part of the seat itself?
It looks like there is a cable that runs from the adjusting wheel to somewhere in the seat.

hi Ron its some time since i looked at the broken seat so if my memory is correct it was a spring bracket that had snapped off the main tubuler frame.
it was a two minute look-see and all i did was pull the back cover up again i think there were velcro tabs to pull apart. bokker.
