    I have a 2005 Volvo 780 and my seat has filled it self full with air and I can't make it go down. I can barely reach the ground let alone the pedals and boy is it uncomfortable! Anyone else experience this issue? Is there a way to release some air manually? Also the air won't let out even after sitting off a couple hours even after the trailer releases its air, there's still full air in my seat. Please help and thank you I'm advance!

    Try fiddling with the Seat Controls on side of seat, should be like 4 buttons. If this doesn't work and your in the Grand Rapids area, try the Volvo dealership on South Side off from US 131, right around 84th st area.

    Did you look under the seat to the right and make sure nothing is blocking the seat from going down?I know sometimes my liter of soda pop stops my seat from going down.

    You and flatbedder73 should get together... Your seat's full of air and his won't hold any!
    I'd be pushing buttons and pulling hoses and wires!
    good luck!

    Poke a hole in the line with your knife and later wrap it with duct tape.
