Hi everyone. Have been with my R for weeks and I noticed some exhaust fan noise when the truck is running inside the cab. The noise is similar to the fan noise of 2kw generator (pro power), which R doesn’t have, but comes from somewhere between driver side and center console (my passenger can only hear it after tilting left). Do you have any clue what it is? Could it come from the 400w inverter or the central infotainment system? Thanks.

It’s most likely the air conditioned seat. It took me a hour to figure it out. It’s loud and hard to tell where it’s coming from. Hopefully that’s all it is.

Right I know that sound but I didn’t turn it on as it’s only 50 outside…

Isn’t there a small fan on the back driver side rear seat ? I thought I remembered that from my Gen 3.
sounds like the propower fan? I remember there is one under rear seat on my 21 35. But on R the space under rear driver and middle seat is pretty clean. I even put my bottled water there . There’s only a small 400W inverter under rear passenger seat which can’t be disabled.

Yeah I just looked at mine and yeah nothing. I put the Ford road side kit there. Fit like a glove.

I can’t seem to replicate what you’re describing. I only have a fan noise with cooled seats on.
