pneumatic seat pump dead - mahindra 8560

[dal929]

I hit the button to add some air in the pneumatic seat and no sound from the pump. I can't seem to find anything on the seat/pump online, anyone have any info on troubleshooting this system?

thanks
Dal

I was not aware the 8560 had a pneumatic seat.

Nothing exotic. Check your fuses, check the wires leading to the switch, check the switch connections and switch function.
A generic cause of this problem would be wiring damage in the area of the seat suspension scissors mechanism and an associated blown fuse.

Use a test light or VOM to troubleshoot circuits.

If the compressor is bad there are lots of 12VDC compressors out there for not a lot of money. You don't need much pressure or volume for just a seat so you don't need to buy anything fancy. You could likely even find something in a junk yard. Lots of cars had small air compressors for this or that mostly suspension.
