So I've been adding a harness 5th belt hole to my stock seats. (I know I know, many don't agree with that )
I did the pass seat a month ago, no issue.
Did the drivers seat yesterday.
Found a major Ford fail.
Now that I modded the seat I know I can't get them to fix it. :-\
See the white pad thing in this pic.
That's the cooling membrane. A fluid runs through it for the seat cooling.
The drivers seat does not have one.
In this pic in the upper left you can see a tube running behind a black part, I think that is the pump...also missing on the drivers side.
I thought maybe the drivers side was cooled differently (which didn't make sense) or perhaps it was cooled by pulling air from an underseat duct, but there isn't one.
I believe Ford forgot the whole system in the drivers seat.
The button on the dash still works and blows air from under the seat and you can feel it and it makes a little difference, but it definitely isn't cold like it should be or like the pass seat is.
Still have to look up if Ford shows those parts on the drivers seat.
I looked for an empty connection plug and didn't notice one. May have been tucked behind something I didn't take apart.
No idea how much parts would be to add, Ford parts catalog is near impossible to find these parts in the seat section.
Having modded the seat still unsure of where to go with this. Would love Ford to at least know, but not sure who to tell that would even care?
I've asked a bit on other another forum and seems that most have both seats that will freeze you out when on high.
