Air-conditioned seat question
Hi to all,
Happy fourth, ok so during the winter I noticed that my seats don't seem to get very warm. No where close to my 2001 with old school heater pads built in but I live in CA so not that big of a deal. So the other day it is finally summer here and I go for the a/c and on max for the seat you can sort of feel something going on. It's not like other cars I have used where each hole is a little cool spot, if it's not on high you feel nothing at all.
So my question is, how effective are yours? Does the dash blower have to be maxed for the seat blower to be effective? If mine are correct it seems like a giant waste of time on Fords part.
Thanks in advance, my bride has MS so keeping her cool is a priority, I was all puffed up the other day to show her how nice it works and she said " when are you going to turn it on "

I love the auto climate on this damn truck. As i pulled up to the dock yesterday after fishing with the family, I hit the auto start. By the time I got to the truck, nice and cool. The seats are great. You must see the dealer. Maybe a clogged filter or a weak fan.

I am experiencing the same things as the original poster. I thought it was because I have a set of seat covers on them but even without them, they do not get very cold.
Anyone know how these seats work? Where do they get their cooling from (the truck's AC through a duct)?

Mine get really cold if on setting 3 also, I usually only set it 1, same for the heat also. I have noticed about a minute delay in really feeling the cold/heat though. I love them!

Even in the desert--it's been 110+F here for over a week--the high cool position on the seats gets too cold.

I do not know the answer to your question. I am surprised that no one else has a attempted to answer your question either. I would assume that it could be done and would also assume it would be a task.....
