Broken lumbar - please help!

I was able to remove the rear panel off the drivers seat, didn't see anything physically broken.. When I push the buttons for the lumbar I hear it attempting to inflate/deflate, however nothing happens, it feels like its half full, no air seeping out, but I need to fix it, do I need to remove more than just the rear leather panel to visually see what's wrong? I wasn't able to see what I thought was te lumbar support or pump / air tube.. Done many searches can't find anything relating to my problem and how to fix.. Hopefully someone can help me with a DIY solution.

2009 Acura tl tech is the model should it matter..

Thanks in advanced!

No, and what I've read is they don't cover the lumbar support

Where did you read this?
I'd still ask... Doesn't hurt, or does it?

Yes, call some dealerships to find out, especially the one that you do regular services, which may fix it under good will even if out of warranty.

on the 3G TL side, we've fixed the broken lumbar by taking the seat apart.

the OP was correct in taking off the backing of the seat, but he needed to dig further
