Same here... sometimes it makes noise and sometimes it doesn't, it should be consistant operation, not intermittant.

Sorry, I just saw this. I don't usually log on while I'm lurking. I was told that there are filters that can get dirty and block our seat blowers; however, you have to unbolt the seat to access it.

 

That makes me laugh.... remove a whole seat to access a filter. Lexus, couldn't figure something better out? I'm just sayen...

LOL

 

So be careful when you guys off gas into the vented seats, you may foul up the filter

 

I'll keep that in mind, LMAO - I don't allow it in my car anyway. My eject button was converted to an automatic release the 2nd the air condition has to swtich back to outside air because the inside is worse.... passenger, EJECT.

 

my seat coolers seem to work sometimes and sometimes not....even when they are working they dont do jack so I guess it doesnt matter

 

mine does that also.. sometimes cold, sometimes not.. i donno if it's my imagination..

 

mine work sometimes too. i think it works best when the AC cools the car down because if it is hot they dont work for crap. i had a 2007 es350 as a loaner 2 weeks ago in the hot weather it did not impress me either.

 

Can anyone with time see if there really is this "filter" in the seat.

 

Ill check, but as far as I know i have not seen any kind of compartment that would hold a filter, maybe you really have to unbolt it.....

 

this reminds me to put that on my service list. I want the seat coolers to be as efficient as possible . Its soooooo damn hot in AZ . You need all of the help that you can get

 

So i took out my seat today. I found what looked like a filter but its more like a screen. I did notice that the higher I put the seat the better the cooling was, which makes sence since my *** pretty much rubs the road. Im wondering if there is a better after market system..I emailed a guy i bought my rear heated seats from about cooling seats but he has yet to get back to me.

 

I do not think there is a cooler or ac for the seats only the fan.
I had a Navagator that had AC for the seats and that was great here in Phoenix.

 

yea mine seem to jus be a fan in the seats

 

According to the service adviser at the dealership, there is only a fan in the seat and no air conditioning unit. I too brought up the "non-functioning" cooling system in the seats and he said they were working "properly."
