My 2005 blows cold air at my bottom end when the seats are in the heat mode. Is there a heating element in the cushion as in the back? Truly not very cool! (comfortable)

Thanks

Is it warm when you turn it to cool? Do you feel an actual sort of breeze/does it get a bit louder as well (I notice an increase in cabin noise as the fans in the seats work). It sounds a bit like your controls are mixed up somehow, otherwise the heated seats just flat out shouldn't do anything if they were broken.

EDIT: I would like to know about the back heating as well. All I really have is heat from the bottom cushion.

The fan runs in both the cooling and heating modes. There is a heater in the back cushion that comes on in the heating mode. It is a Canadian car, which may be different. My ES350 had cooled and heated seats. The bottom cushion definitely had a heating element in it, and was noticeably warm. Not so the LS.
