Air Leak in Seat

[dale farley]

When I push the button to raise the driver's seat, it goes up. Unfortunately, it leaks back down about as fast as it went up. I think Truk had a similar problem. It sounds like the air is leaking from the row of switches. Any suggestions as where to start would be appreciated.

Dale, had the same thing happen on a CC Afinity was a bad valve, tried cleaning messing with all to no avale. There is a fix although it hurts, the part is avaliable from Prevost, the part # is 861096 looking at the bill from Prevost parts. Good news is easy to get, Bad news is it cost 150.23 for 4 little plastic valves some hoses and a real pretty plastic cover, Sorry about that, Bill.

Thanks Bill. Sounds discouragingly encouraging.

Dale,

Fear not my man, I have a few extra switches! I'll check today and see if I have the one for up and down.

Dale: I had the same problem except mine was a slow leak. Caused the aux air compressor to cycle on about every 30 to 40 minutes. After I found the leak and learned the cost of the replacement valves, I taped the hose into a no leak position. The seat still works fine just no bolsters.

You gotta be tuff to drive a bus.

Dale, sometimes good air leaking inside the seat is a good thing
