2010 Taurus SHO, 40k, has all the do-dads...  Including a annoying feature where about 50% of the time the middle air bag in the lumber support fills to full on startup without human interaction.

It does it most on remote start.
I have felt it at least 2 times do it by hitting the start button.

Any ideas on how to disable it?  I do not drive with them inflated.  They are to firm for my old body, I prefer soft and un-inflated.

A Google search was not as helpful as i had hoped.

I have tried ::
Allowing the seat to reset (sliding all the way back) when turning the car off
Jiggling the seat position during shut down to prevent the seat from resetting (sliding all the way back)
Programming the seat for me in position 1 and 2 ..

Thoughts ?

You will have to disable the supplemental restraint system, remove the seat, the backrest, open up the various screws/scrivets to expose the lumbar pump module, then disconnect it.  I don't think there is a fuse exclusive to the pump.
