So the cooled seats are not cooling very well after 40K miles. Searched the owner's manual for anything (filter changes, etc.) but didn't find anything.

Any tips from the old pros here?

Want to restore their icy cold nature ASAP. :)

Does the seat back get cool? This was a thing from day 1 - it seems to be the seat bottom more than the seat back.

Have you tried vacuuming the seats out, focusing on the vent areas of the cover? It may just be dust and lint.

I know the Fords have a small filter under the seat that keeps crud from the fan and cooling module, Im not sure if the Rams have them but it might be worth the look?

I'll look for a filter this weekend (don't ever recall seeing one under the seat but will double check).

I'll also see if the vacuuming helps - will report back soon.

Thanks, y'all!
