Default 2011 LX 570 chill box

I have noticed recently that that the chill box is not blowing cold air, even when the power (green light) is on. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, can you offer up any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Default LX Chill Box

Thank you for your replies. After reading the replies and the OP, i realized that I did not provide enough or accurate information. A more concise description is as follows:

1 - The front and rear AC work great.
2 - It is not a matter of the chill box blowing cold air. It actually works great sometimes and other times it will not blow any air at all. This all happens with the green "power" light on. I can hear a click (noise) when I press the power button as if the blower is wanting to come on.

This morning I got in the car and the chill box came on and worked all the way to my first meeting. When I returned to the car after an hour, the chill box would not work.

I hope this revised information will help you understand what I am dealing with.

This issue is the faulty switch on/off or loose connected wire. Try to tap the chill box.

I have not checked the actual temps. But, it gets pretty cool in the box when working.

I recently had the exact same issue, turns out the blower motor and switch were beginning to fail. The cold air was an intermittent issue. Had to have both components replaced.

Off topic but, Wish the cool box, itself, could be more easily removed so I could have access to the outside for mounting a holster.
