The seat ventilation on my car appears to be bi-polar. On some days it works without an issue and on others I feel no cooling effect despite all 3 blue lights being lit up. Any suggestions?

 

Does the suction fans running? You can hear them. Not sure, but maybe not enough power on cars battery. I never have problem with mine and always charge the battery once a month when I don't use it much.

 

Mine always works but I can certainly feel a difference in HOW it works based on what I am wearing. Shorts and a clima cool lite shirt and it sucks the Houston humidity/sweat thru my body and off the front of my golf shirt. Jeans and a regular cotton shirt and it doesn't feel like it is working...but the fan noise says it is. I don't know how the interior baffles are implemented (if at all) but a towel on the seat after playing golf and I feel it even more on my back but I can still feel some through the towel.

 

I feel a huge difference comparing my 12 Cayenne to my 13 BoxsterS seat ventilation cooling . I was told that the larger seats have a more noticeable air flow . Also note that my SUV has a light interior color as opped to black in my Boxster (absorbs heart). My seats in the Boxster are the sports adaptives so if you have those or similar in your car you might be experiencing similar to me . It works fine but on a hot day it ought to be better .

 

I don't think mine works that well either.

 

No issue, I tend to use mine everyday as I just like how it feels.

 

Did you leave the AC on?

I found it works better when the AC is on so that it is drawing cold air thru the seats.

Damn you people talking about seat ventilation while my car is parked for the winter

 

I have this same issue. I feel like on other days it works better. It definitely depends on what you are wearing also.

 

yeah - keep the AC on - otherwise i dont really feel anything

The heaters though get pretty darn hot

 

Doesn't matter if ac is on or not you can still feel the air flow

In fact just this morning I realized I had turned ac off.. I'd probably argue that if the ac isn't on you will probably notice it more..

When I turn it on I immediately feel it or at least the flow of air.. Wearing typical light shirt.. The cooling will depend of course on ambient and humidity but you should feel the flow. Not hard to feel when it is on 3 bars

If not then I'm guessing yours isn't really working..

Did you try passenger seat with same results?

 

Amen brother! 8-16" expected here over next 24 hours

 

+1 my seats are cool to the touch Five degrees ambient temp does that
