Hi guys,

I bought a used 1500 Laramie Longhorn recently and noticed that the driver's side ventilated seat feature doesn't work. The heat works on all 4 seats and the ventilated seat works on the passenger's side, but when I turn on the driver's side, it doesn't work.

When you turn on a ventilated seat you hear a small click and then the fan turns on several seconds later. When I turn on my vented seat I hear a click but the fan doesn't engage.

Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it? I'd really appreciate your help because I want to get the cooled seats to work before the heat of the summer comes.

Hi SLT617,

Sorry to hear about this! If you decide to visit your local dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to offer assistance if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know.

Does anyone else know why the fan wouldn't work? I let it slide last summer but I'd like to have it finally work.
