Cooling Seats issue and TSB feedback
 
Got a 3 week old platinum 150, and the seats, or atleast the drivers seat just changed radically..used to cool fine on one bar, now with three bars i can just tell its working...i can hear the fan run and respond appropriatley , but little to almost none cooling....in addition if i feel the middle of the back of the seat where i presume the fan is it is warm to hot....fuse is fine.....ideas...how do you get access to trouble shoot....dealer is backed up to the 17th

jm061 06-06-2015 06:14 PM

Check the filter? Can't imagine it would be all gunked up after a few weeks but depends on the conditions you use the vehicle in.

statikuz 06-06-2015 06:53 PM

It seems like I have the same problem but it might all be in my head. I have to leave it on 3 to get any appreciable cooling. Went out and looked underneath and everything seems in order.

kobayashi maru 06-06-2015 06:56 PM

Deleted post. Wrong forum.

MotoMedic 06-06-2015 07:30 PM

I'm having the same issue. Dealer said everything was working correctly. I was picking up late in the afternoon and didn't have time to argue. If it's true then Ford's design is terrible... my GMC's seat back cooling was much much better. Will be bringing back to the dealer soon.

scole 06-06-2015 08:20 PM

My only experience with this feature was with a rental 2014 Ford Taurus last summer in Florida. My recollection was that I always left it on 3 bars. Maybe that's just the "standard" now?

(Really enjoyed the Taurus, BTW)

Shrdlu 06-06-2015 08:24 PM

Several posts on the forum that the hose easily becomes detached from the blower. And the forum consensus seems to be that the seat bottom is cooled but not the seat back.

PFD664 06-06-2015 09:01 PM

My 12 F150 seat bottom and back used to get cool and you could feel a little airflow, but on the 15 I only feel the seat bottom get cold...on max 3 bars my butt gets so cold it's numb. One bar keeps me plenty cool enough..kind of disappointing the seat back dosent cool.

1969TxCowboy 06-06-2015 09:33 PM

My works fine. In fact, it freezes my ass off if I leave it on a long time.

Ecobst 06-07-2015 09:06 AM

I confirmed with Ford that the seat back and bottom are both cooled. My passenger side does not work as good as the drivers seat. I guess they are having trouble with them as the parts are back ordered.

CurryBob 06-07-2015 01:29 PM

Both sides of mine are cooling the bottom and back. I start out with the 3 bars and soon have to drop it down to one. I'm in the SE and it gets very warm here. My air is set to auto and usually around 70.

Don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

FordService, can we get some clarification on this? Are both the bottoms and back supposed to be cooling? Mine only cools the bottoms on both seats. Heat is working on both bottoms and backs.

digitaltrucker 06-08-2015 09:57 AM

Have a 13 Lariat only feel it in the bottom cushion and dont see a filter anywhere.

Shrdlu 06-08-2015 09:59 AM


can we get some clarification on this?
Amen, seeing as my service adviser says only the bottoms are cooled. I suspect the variance has something to do with the massage seats, like those in my Platinum whose backs are not cooled.

dstrat1 06-08-2015 10:20 AM

My local service rep told me bottoms are cooled with ambient air, did not even know about the TEDs, i felt the back of mine cool once, but now, nothing...nevertheless, you can feel the heat from the Ted behind the seat pocket, and hear the fan running, so it should be cooling, or heating

digitaltrucker 06-08-2015 10:27 AM

Is there a louder fan noise in heat mode, versus ac mode? One thing my wife pointed out to me, when you look at the climate control screen, specifically the heat and cool seat icons, you only see indications that the seat is cooled.

dstrat1 06-08-2015 10:39 AM

from what i read, it should be the same...the thermo electronic device, converts electricity to hotter or colder air, and the fan blows the result to the seat...they must have alot of malfunctions....when i brought our platinum home, one bar on cooling was almost too much..now 3 weeks later i can drive all day with 3 bars and be somewhat aware that its cooling...sortof......

I have bad hearing, but I use to hear them blowing when the seats are on, not anymore. Guess I better take out the extended warranty!

srg963 06-08-2015 10:59 AM

Could just be the warmer conditions now, but it almost feels like the backs are heating while the seats are cooling....or it could just be the difference of cooled vs non cooled when it's 90 degrees outside lol.

I sent FordService a PM, hopefully we'll have a definitive answer soon.

dstrat1 06-08-2015 11:04 AM

when the TED produces cold air it has to extract the heat just like an air conditioner and dispose of it,,,,,i can feel a very warm area in the middle of the seat back when the cooling function is selected....yesterday it felt the same way it was so hot it was warming the seat back....i suspect these systems are not working properly...

srg963 06-08-2015 02:04 PM

Interesting...

Phase one is solved...unzipped the seat back, as shown in the photos the fan connected to the TED and then a completely disconnected duct....one tie wrap and it is connected now...so the seatback, of the platinum has cooling, if it is connected..You can see part of the filter behind the protective cover, and the vent above the white sticker on the TED was venting warm air to the ambient area one photo show it as found, the other once connected....both photos should be rotated 90 degrees to the right

srg963 06-08-2015 03:05 PM

^Sweet, a DIY'er for the solution!

Thanks!

jcb206 06-08-2015 03:20 PM

I'm going to have to check that! Thanks

Shrdlu 06-08-2015 03:29 PM

Excellent.

How did you unzip the seatback cover? I've pulled out the tag ends of the zipper from both sides of the back's bottom. Is there a technique to unzip them, since they are on the inside of the cover and the zippers have no tags to grip.

srg963 06-08-2015 03:35 PM

Yeah, what's the trick with opening the seats up? I've not looked, just wanted to know before I attempt this.

Hi dstrat1,

I'll be happy to look into some additional assistance. Please send me a private message with your VIN, mileage, best daytime phone number, full name, and dealer name/location.

Hi guys,

What are the years and mileage for your trucks? I want to check out some options.

Thanks for reaching out!

This is specifically for the 2015 from our Parts Subject Matter Expert: It cools the seat bottom and the lower portion of the seat back. The lumbar area basically.

OK here is the passenger side of my 2013, with heated and cooled sets. This is the back portion of the seat. Notice the black housing pointed downward? It is a discharge vent, when this seat is in AC mode, hot air is discharged out of that tube, into the back passenger area. It seems as though, at least on the 2013, that the upper portion sucks air away from the body!


BTW the air volume on both seat cushions, when seat ac is on, is very low.

dstrat1 06-08-2015 06:03 PM

Guys to open the back, one, there are 2 elastic bands on the skirt going under the seat....then two there is a plastic channel that goes across the bottom horizontally starting at either edge you can get it to unhook...then three the zippers are more apparant and mine were stiff enough to find that some needlenose pliers helped ...they unzip almost to the top and will reveal the contents of the back...

TX15FX4 06-08-2015 07:48 PM

Today, 98° outside, I get in the truck and hit the cooled seats (3 bars). Bottom starts cooling, but back starts to feel warmer. Almost as if the back was heating. It didn't start cooling down until I turned off the cooled seats. Weird!

Exactly what I'm experiencing.

I pulled the back of my seat off and my vents were connected correctly. Looks like Ford has a design issue here.

Parts are on back order, wonder if it will have a different part number when available.

PFD664 06-08-2015 09:27 PM

Awesome info, I'm going to have to check my truck.....thanks

Shrdlu 06-08-2015 09:35 PM


there is a plastic channel that goes across the bottom horizontally starting at either edge you can get it to unhook
Do we unhook the elastic bands from the channel, or unhook the channel itself from the seat frame?

Hellcat1 06-08-2015 10:50 PM

Same problem
 
When I turn on the cooled seats to 3-bars the bottom cools OK not great and the back seems like it heats up. Not working like it should for sure. I guess I will take it to the dealer to check it out.

I thought I noticed the same thing. Keep us posted on what the fix for this issue turns out to be. I may take mine to the dealer when a fix is discovered.

Bretcoe 06-08-2015 11:36 PM

Went golfing on Sunday, it was hot. On the way home I wanted to show off the sweet cooled seat feature... turns out, there was little cooling action going on.

My seat bottom was getting slightly cold (3 bars) but the seat back was hot, my back was sticking to it. My friend asked if the seat cooling was on and thats when it hit me. These things worked amazingly well right out of the box, but now when I need them (and wanted to show off a lil) they just weren't working well at all.

Annoyance level is high with this as it is now warm out. I likely will only get to use this feature for 3 months a year.

srg963 06-09-2015 08:21 AM

TSB?

Neffster 06-09-2015 08:28 AM

My seat bottom gets frigid but the seat back doesn't seem to be cooling at all. Truck is only 5 days new too... Subscribing just in case there is some sort of TSB that is issued.

tsdahc 06-09-2015 08:46 AM

I also have the issue where the seat bottom gets ice cold but the back is hot. I just started noticing it when the temps warmed up. I have not checked my passenger seat yet. Guess I will have to and then watch to see if anything comes about. I currently am waiting on my dealer to fix the awful fit of the leather in my truck so hopefully I can get this taken care of too.

jcb206 06-09-2015 09:27 AM

My seat bottoms have not got very cold in 1 month of ownership. The back feels warm. I thought maybe something was disconnected but last weekend for one trip the back was cooling!!! It felt great!!! An option I gladly paid for. Has not come on again. Fans are running. At least I got feel it once 😡

pb65stang 06-09-2015 09:43 AM

I definitely notice the bottom more than the back. But, I do feel a slight cooling in the lumbar area.

iRub1Out 06-09-2015 10:58 AM

I had the cooled seats in my 2012 and now my 2015 - same experience. I feel the cold in the seat and my back is hot to the touch - it's like the back isn't being cooled at all.

I've even tried scooting up and taking my back off the seat for a few minutes, no change, the back is still very warm and i feel no airflow at all.

I will say that the day i bought it, it was hot out, and the back got COLD, as cold as the seat - but since that day it hasn't done it again.

LMychajluk 06-09-2015 11:21 AM

If anyone wants to take a look in their seats, there's a YouTube video from LeatherSeats.com that shows the removal of the factory seat cover. If the link doesn't work, search "2015 Ford F150 Supercrew LeatherSeats.com". The instructions start ~3min into the video.


JimmyRigged 06-09-2015 11:56 AM

Mine is the same way. Worked amazing the first week or so but now I have barely any cooling and just on the bottom it seems. I pulled the seat apart to have a look and everything turns on and appears to work as it should, and the hose was attached properly. Its pumping hot air out the discharge sides as it should. But the supply side just isn't that cold.

dstrat1 06-09-2015 02:28 PM

About what? All they are going to tell you is, give your vin, give us your contact info etc.....then they fill out the same contact form you can online.

Then the dealer gets notified, they may contact you, you bring it in and it gets fixed or you are told its within specs!

Wyoguy069 06-09-2015 09:23 PM

Add me to the list of people with this problem. Seat bottom a little cold, but the top is downright warm. A/C doesn't seam to work real well either and it was only 80 degrees here today.

Add me. Mines doing the same thing. Bottom of seat cooling kind of. Back is getting hot. Def want this repaired. Thank you

MarineLDO 06-10-2015 01:39 PM

Add me also. Used to work fine. Now that it's in the mid 90s it decides to have issues. Need to check the passenger side.

Neffster 06-10-2015 01:59 PM

It seems as if this is a common issue. Is anyone from FORD forwarding this concern onto the appropriate people? At least 20 people thus far have chimed in (and I'm one of them).

It's weird that the seat cushion gets cold and the back gets hot...

Jason 2015 06-10-2015 02:04 PM

This was one of the features I was looking forward to the most living in the desert. I hope there is some kind of resolve.

BBQ BOY 06-10-2015 02:28 PM

Same here. Sometimes I can't even turn them on without my back sweating.
Are the backs suppose to cool? Doesn't seem to be since all I hear from the seat back are fans, which Leeds me to conclude that the reason the back gets hot is because the sound is coming from a motor that's in the seat back.
So, are the seat backs intended to cool?

Kromulok 06-10-2015 03:23 PM

same here - my butt gets nice and cold and the small of my back sweats. It's really annoying and defeats the purpose

iRub1Out 06-10-2015 03:24 PM

Same here - back is hot and sweaty, seat is cold and feels like i've wet myself.

Don't laugh, next time you sit in the truck with the seat cooler on, you'll notice it and it will never get out of your head. lol

No, I'm not trying to be funny, it is actually VERY uncomfortable. I'm pretty pissed that I paid as much as I did and the seat is almost uncomfortably cold but my back feels warmer than if i hadn't turned it on at all. Honestly the back feels like i turned on the seat heater, there's no air coming out of it that i can tell.

digitaltrucker 06-10-2015 03:25 PM

works the same in my 2013

KYBuckeye 06-10-2015 04:16 PM

Same here too. Bottom is barely noticeable and the back is almost non existent.

jcb206 06-10-2015 05:57 PM

I could be wrong but it seems like most are having this problem. Unlike the leaking moonroof poll. Maybe the AC seats will end up on a poll too.

KYBuckeye 06-10-2015 06:46 PM

Mine worked great the first few times I used them. Now that it's consistently in the mid 80s here, and humid as hell, I've been using them daily. They suck at this point.

There should have been an addendum in the owners manual that states you get 10 uses out of these cooled seats, pick your times wisely.:unsure:

Bamalama15ford 06-10-2015 07:18 PM

I have appointment tomorrow with my dealer to inspect mine. I can feel the seat bottoms but they take a while to really cool. I feel nothing on the back.

BoozeDaily 06-10-2015 07:55 PM

Subbing for possible TSB

dallas150 06-10-2015 08:34 PM

Same boat, I thought there was something up with these as my 2011 was far more noticeable. Definitely interested in a fix if one exists.

Aflick 06-10-2015 08:38 PM

I am having the same issue as well...seat not cooling well and back of seat is hot.

I have a less than 2 week old platinum.

Ecobst 06-10-2015 08:46 PM

Now I know why the parts are on back order! 15's have a different part number so it seems like they may have changed the design? Maybe an update blower coming?

Probably not, parts go to the assembly line first. We have seen other areas where trucks have sat waiting for body parts, then there were the vehicles where the wrong switches were put in and it took forever for the owners to get the correct ones.

texaspro 06-10-2015 09:37 PM

This is frustrating. Same issue here. I knew something was up and found this thread. I guess I'll contact the dealer, but in the past they have been less than helpful on other issues.

Has anyone taken there's in and had it fixed? What are the dealers telling you when you take it in?

I think our first answer will come tomorrow when Bamalama15ford reports back. He is going in to dealer tomorrow. (Several posts up)

sbash 06-10-2015 11:07 PM

Add me. Seat back worked well exactly one time. I was starting to think maybe I just noticed it because of the type of shirt I had on.

Bamalama15ford 06-10-2015 11:27 PM

seat cooling
 
I know what you mean on thinking shirt type. Seemed to me that cotton shirts worked for back seat cooling, but athletic shorts didn't. I just think it was due to humidity and having some moisture on the back of the cotton shirt when I say back.

Bamalama15ford 06-10-2015 11:28 PM

seat cooling
 
Athletic shirts. LOL. Spell check. Oh and sat back not say.

mechanicboy 06-11-2015 02:08 AM

The #1 reason I would want something other than an XL is for the cooled seats. I hope they get this fixed.

Mine went in last weekend, they told me they are replacing both blower units and duct work. All parts are on back order for at least 2 more weeks.

So I assume this is a 2015, and they confirmed that there should be air coming from the back area also, or what exactly was wrong?


Thanks

Yes see post #33, I posted my email from ford.

dodgehemi0 06-11-2015 07:08 AM

My cooled and heated seats are amazing, but mine are aftermarket :thumbsup:..
I had cloth seats, but katzkin makes an aftermarket system that is awesome. You have to get leather with this option from katzkin. It's way better than my 2012 f150 that had this feature.

KYBuckeye 06-11-2015 07:41 AM

Good to know. I care about Ford's seats though since that's what I paid for OEM.

OilCapitalF150 06-11-2015 09:42 AM

Same issue here. I'll take it in when its time for an oil change.

Cooling Seats - Are Your Seat Backs Working Properly?
 
Several of us have noticed that there is little to no cool air coming from the seat back portion, however, the bottom portion is working just fine.

Please only vote if you have the heated and cooling seat option....let's try to get an accurate poll for FordService. :thumbup:

OK, but did they actually diagnose the problem with the existing units?
Or it is just a matter of: we'll replace them and see if that solves the problem??

I wanna know what "updated" parts the dealers are capable of getting!?

Ford addressed this issue already?

What did the dealer say to the one dude who said that!?

voted: No, I've got no cool air coming from the seat back
Back in March I did turn it on and it appeared to work the one time when I tried it. Its still below 32F in March, but now that it's warmed up (75F) I can't feel any cooling from the lower back, just the seat. I have not had time to take it in yet.

Sub'd.
No noticeable cold air coming from seat back. Seat cushion? Cold as ice.

Add me also. Used to work fine. Now that it's in the mid 90s it decides to have issues. Need to check the passenger side.

Are the backs suppose to cool? Doesn't seem to be since all I hear from the seat back are fans, which Leeds me to conclude that the reason the back gets hot is because the sound is coming from a motor that's in the seat back.
So, are the seat backs intended to cool?

Hi everyone,

Could some of you please clarify about your back being warm? Is it somewhat warmer than if nothing was turned on, does it just feel warm compared to the cool (i.e. no cooled back), or does it feel like the heat was turned on? I just want to be sure I understand completely. :)

Also, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, per my Parts Subject Matter Expert, the seat and lower back/lumbar have the function - the rest of the seat back does not. I put it in bold and color so this wouldn't get lost in my big post like it may have last time. :)

If you haven't already, please send me a private message with your VIN, mileage, best daytime phone number, full name, and dealer name/location. I'll send this up the chain.

This also goes for anyone who comments after me. So, if there are a bunch of posts from people who haven't commented before, please feel free to send them my way in case I don't see the posts. :) Please remember to allow a couple days for a reply via PM, as I'm on multiple forums. Also, I don't work weekends, and my hours are 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. Eastern, just so everyone knows. :thumbsup:

It's weird that the seat cushion gets cold and the back gets hot...

Hi Neffster,

The best way for engineers to know about various concerns if for the owners with them to head to the dealer for diagnosis and documentation. I'm also working on escalating individual cases. Please see above for the info (underlined) I'll need from you to get this sent up.

Happy to hear you're working with your dealer on this, Ecobst. I can also check out some additional assistance for you as well. Please see above for the info I'll need.

I have the same issue with only the bottom getting cool. I frequently ride in my Dad's 2014 and it cools really well to the middle back. My truck doesn't feel like it is cooling the back at all. I do have the massaging option. Not sure if this affects anything.

Neffster 06-11-2015 01:40 PM

Same issue as many others. My seat bottom will freeze your butt off while making your back sweat like crazy. No air coming out of the seat back at all. The truck is only 7 days old today and I really hope that I can get to the dealership soon now that summer is rolling around.

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come...

When I opened my passenger seat, and turned on the ac seat, little came out of the seat and nothing in the upper to middle back area. Additionally, on mine, there was warm air discharging out of the black tube, as a posed to, sucking in to blow out the seat.

PM sent Meagan. Thanks for helping with this. I have not had time to get to the dealership with work being so hectic. Sneaking away for lunch now so I have a few minutes to respond.

Thumper38 06-11-2015 01:58 PM

So I just got my truck back from the dealership and they said the seat back being warm is normal and that the other new platinum on there lot works the same way!!! The other thing I had it in there for is air noise coming from the B pillar and they said its normal. Why can't they try to fix anything.........

TexCT82 06-11-2015 02:05 PM

Voted _ no cool air coming from seat back

Bretcoe 06-11-2015 02:51 PM

No cool air coming from seat backs

What is the updated parts all about?

Bretcoe 06-11-2015 02:55 PM

My post wasn't responded to in the thread so, I have sent a PM to FordService about the issue.
