Front ballast quit working

I have an 06 Mobius LSV and the front ballast wont fill or empty. The light comes on at the switch but the pump wont come on. The two rear one's work fine. Any suggestions on trouble shooting would be appreciated.

do you hear a noise like the pump is coming on at all?

No noise at all it

No noise at all it definitely is not turning on.

check the power supply at the pump it sounds as though you have it at the switch. If you are getting 12V to the pump when the switch is on then the pump is bad if not then you have a loose or broken wire connection between the pump and switch

If it is set up like the Supras there is only one pump for all three bags. So if the rears will fill and empty I don't think it's the pump. Check you're switch and the solenoid on the valve for the front bag.

also a silly question but does the ballast tanks each have their own shutoff valve. By chance could that have been hit and accidentally closed. If not then I would say valve on front of bag with one pump system.

There is a fuse block on the front wall of the driver's foot well. Check the fuse for the front bag.

This just happended to me on my 07 lsv. I called the dealership and he told me what he thought it was and he was right. There is a solenoid on the driver seat. They make the wiring so tight to it, that any hard bumps could make one of the wires come off. The wire on mine had barely came off, and all I had to do was push it back on. Im sure its the same thing.

There is no solenoid on the driver's seat. Do you mean under the dash?

check the ground connection to the battery.

If it was the ground connection would the rear ballast still work?

This happened to my Mobius LSV. Had power to the swith buth the front pump would not tun on. I checked the connections under dash. The wire came loose for the fron pump. Pushed it back in and the pump turned on. Good Luck

This also happened to me on my 21V. I checked the switch by changing the wiring from one of the rear bags that was working to the front and the rears stopped working but the front worked. I had the dealer replace the switch and all is fine.
