Have you done this while sitting in the seat? I'm not 100% certain but many now have sensors in the seat and they don't work if no one is sitting there. I don't recall if the trucks are configured like that or not. I've slept since we needed the cooled seats a few months back.

Yes, mine works - has to work because the past summer was scorching hot and used the cooling feature a lot.

It does need to have the A/C turned on blowing cold air.

Does not work with recirc or warm air.

Both sides work - sometimes too loudly but I'd rather have a dry behind and back than a sweaty one...

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

My driver side cooled seat makes an extremely loud noise when turned up all the way on cool, no noise with heat. I haven't checked the passenger side yet.

Hello. Go ahead and send us a private message with your VIN and dealer info, and I’ll look into this noise concern for you. Thanks!

Just picked up my truck last week. I have a very loud fan on my passenger side with the cooled seat. I have not had it back to the dealer yet. Plan to schedule that soon. Sounds like a typical 'fan is hitting the housing' or 'fan is hitting something else' sound.

At "level" 3 it's pretty loud, turn it down to level 1 and it's not.
What level do you have it running at?

Same as others, level 1 and 2 are reasonable noise, level 3 is like a PC desperately trying to cool itself down. This is the first time I've had such a feature so I'm not sure what to expect of them. They take a while to actually cool down, even after the AC is nice and cool. I think it's just grabbing the cabin air and pushing it into the seat vents.

My seats turn on the fans when I have it set to precondition the cab for leaving work. They are always on max by the time I get in, and more than once I've heard the fan from the passenger as it was left on after the wife had been sitting in it the night before. If you crank it on to level 3 and no fan noise, I'd say it's busted.

I tried searching and this was really the only thread coming up...

Have anyone else had issues with their ventilated/cooled seats ?
It seams my drivers side seat have stopped working, but it doesn't seem to be a common failure ?

And on that note - WHY Ford!? - WHY do we turn on the heated seats even though it's 100+ degrees outside ? A simple <65 = Heated Seats >65 = Cooled Seats logic for that pushbutton would improve the user experience a lot.

I haven't heard of frequent issues. Can you even hear the fan kicking in? It's pretty loud, relatively speaking.

Ours has been good and it has been setting it to cool, but there was a little while there where it would set it to heat even when it was 70+ outside in the spring. The last month or so it's been consistent on cooling.

Hopefully it gets worked out. Maybe try the soft reset on the head unit?

Yeah, the fan on the passenger seat sounds like a jet plane, and you can feel the draft from it, but driver-side is dead (backrest is working, but the seat cushion isn't).

Interesting that yours stay on cooling, mine always default to heat no matter what.
I have soft-reset mine a number of times (best option to resolve Android Auto connection issues while driving), so perhaps it's time for a 12V disconnect.
