Cooled seat fan noise?

19Nasty1le · 06-30-2019, 01:50 PM

My drivers side cooled seat will randomly have a high pitched humming, I assume maybe a bad fan motor or something, was curious if anyone else has run into this and what the dealer did. New fan or new seat?

Did you check under the seat to make sure nothing is hitting the fan blades?

(happened to me)

No but my back stopped cooling so they replaced the fan. I'm not sure how common that is.

Both of mine are loud enough to hear it but it's very quiet.

I'm such a big fan of this feature.

I like it too, I just wish I would not have to turn it on every time I restart the car.

My ventilated seats really don't seem to work. I *think* I feel some cool air sometimes if I really concentrate on it, but it's so negligible that it's almost pointless to turn them on.

I feel mine almost immediately. If the windows are open, I don't, but when it's buttoned up and the A/C is going, I feel the cool within seconds.

Go into settings and turn on auto cooled seats

Just FYI the blue LED's will not come on, but the seat coolers will activate with the auto cool seats option enabled.

Hmm, I'll check again tonight, maybe it's a 2019 enhancement.

I could not see where to make that change, but I'll have to take more time to gothrough the menu.
