A/C Seats not cooling like they used to

My 2011 F250 has the Heated A/C front seats, recently they just seemed to not be cooling like they used to. I can feel a little cool air and I can barely just hear them start blowing from under the seats when I turn em on, but they just not cold like they originally were. Their's this new type jcase high voltage 30 amp fuse F85 (looks like a relay) that's labeled for the heated ventilated seat. But, since I do feel a little cool air and I do hear them turn on I'm thinking that the fuse is mostly likely OK.
Any suggestions or ideas?

My service manual says there is an air cleaner for the seats that needs to be replaced occasionally. Perhaps yours is plugged? I know I need to get mine done - lots of dog hair in the truck.

SBryan, Thank you, I read that about the filters also in my owners manual, but since we mostly only use the truck for pulling out toy hauling trailer RV the truck only has 26000 miles on it, real clean inside, and we probably haven't used the heated / cooled seats more than 50 hours over the last 3 and a half years since buying the truck new, of course the warranty is 3 years 36000 miles so I didn't think the filters would be dirty yet. I think something actually broke. their's a F85 30 amp jcase fuse (looks like a relay) that's for the heated / cooled seats in the fuse box in the engine compartment.
I wrote this hoping that somebody else might have had had the same problem saving me a little troubleshooting. I just don't want to take it to the dealer if it's something simple.

Keep us in the loop as you track this down, jamesroadking. If you decide to get your dealer involved, let me know; I'll be happy to do what I can to assist from my neck of the woods.

The next step will be to see what's involved in pulling the filters out, also disconnecting the batteries and pulling the 30 amp jcase F85 fuse and metering for continuity.
