How to Get the Most out of my A/C Seats?

[911 Crazy]

There is a round filter on the blower motor under the seat that you can check to see if it’s dirty.

Or smelly

Ok I apologize, it was my 13 Platinum that had the round filter. I think I didn’t have my 15 Platinum or 17 Raptor long enough to check them. I just looked under my seat and I can’t see anything that looks like a fan with filter.

i rarely use the cooled seat because they do very little to actually "cool" you. Heated seats work like a charm.

I kept it on full blast all the time this summer. I feel like it does a little prevent low back sweat and general swamp-ass.

That's what I found also, I think it helps keep you from getting sweaty, especially when I wear my assless chaps.

On the F150 forum there is a thread with hundreds if not over a thousand posts regarding the fact that the seat "cooler" does not go up the back of the seat. Ford removed the vent to the seat back causing hot air to come out of the base, hot enough to burn. Someone there 3D printed a sock or something that he sells to make it work on the seat back in addition to the cushion.

Also, on the Porsche forum it's been proven that the seat cooling function does NOT blow air out of the seat holes, but it sucks in. That was shown by a light piece of tissue paper being placed against the seat and it was sucked to the seat, not blown away.

That's pretty disappointing. I just read some of that thread. My 2014 had the a/c seats and could cool the black leather down quick and keep my backsides cool. I did notice this summer that the ventilated seats were not as cool, but just thought it was due to the Alcantara vs leather on the old truck. Looks like there isn't a solution for the 19+ models to better cool the back.
