Avalon 2005-12 :: 2007 Limited - Driver Seat Just Does Not Seem To Cool Properly

I have an '07 Avalon Limited with the heated/ventilated front seats. The drivers seat just does not seem to cool properly, and what the problem might be. Occasionally when I put my hand on the seat I can feel a tiny amount of air blowing through the perforations, but most of the time it's not nearly enough to cool through a pair of jeans, and I can't even tell that it's on.

Phaeton :: Rear Seat Headrest On One Side Is Always Up And It Won't Go Down

My rear seat headrest on one side is always up, and I can hear a motor running in the rear seat back whenever the engine is running. Shut the engine off, and the head rest remains up. I couldn't push it down with any reasonable amount of force. Does it need a complete headrest motor, or can the existing one be repaired?

Phaeton :: 2006 V8 - Non Functional Rear Seat Heater / Cooler

I recently purchased an 06 V8 Phaeton that has just about all the options except the 4 seat package. Other than the notoriously finicky TPMS, the rear seat heater and cooler does not work at all. The rear seat lumbar adjustment and massage features work properly. From what I can determine from service manuals the rear seat heaters and coolers are controlled by J522 Rear Seat.

VCDS Scan:

Address 66: Seat, Rear Labels: None
Part No: 3D0 959 860 C
Component: Sitzmemory D1 H 1724
Coding: 0000001
Shop #: WSC 00000 000 00000
VCID: 2F6D7837BD8E8246D7-5140
No fault code found.

Now I first suspected that the wheels in the center console may not be functional, because the seat has power. When I took a look at the measurement blocks they responded from 0.36V - 5V on both on the controller.

My next thought is that the controller isn't coded/configured for the rear seat heaters/coolers? Looking for the details of this controller? What should I check next?

Phaeton :: How To Turn On Overhead Lights In Rear Cabin From Driver Seat

In my 7, if I hit the roof console center light button, it would illuminate both the front of the cabin, and my accent lights in the rear cabin, allowing me to see the kids in the back at night or ensure they have light if they can't find something.

On the Phaeton, I have not yet been able to figure out how the driver can turn on the rear cabin lights. I have the lights set on to come on when the door opens, but obviously that isn't an option underway. Is there a way for the driver to illuminate the whole cabin from the drivers seat?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 1998 - No Heat / Cool Air Blowing

I have a 1998 f150 4.6 that has a problem with the heating system. It's blowing out a little warm, but "far" from what it should be. ( on a scale from 1-10, I'd rate it about a 3) I am puzzled because I flushed the radiator, changed the thermostat, and there a no signs of heater core leaks inside,hose leaks on firewall, or radiator/water smell present. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I did notice the top radiator hose was hot, but not the bottom. I don't know what else to look for.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Rear Seat Back Removal

My uncle has an 05 F150 extended cab. When he bought it he put his license plate in the rear window until he could get some bolts for it. When it was there it fell between the back of the rear seat and the back of the cab. Currently he has one plate on the rear, but is worried he will get stopped for not having a front plate installed. So he knew I am an FTE member and I could find out how to remove the seat back. I have not tried to remove it nor seen if I could reach it.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Dual Temp Controls / Passenger Side Does Not Cool Or Heat Properly

2010 fx4 duel temp controls...

My driver side works great (heat and AC). My passenger side does not cool or heat properly. Not sure about the back.

From what I have read this is most likely the upper door actuator...Which is what I was hoping because the lower one is such a nightmare. Am I on the right track here?

Phaeton :: 2004 - Mildly Cool Air Coming Out Of Driver Side Vents

Had a few warm days last week and noticed a lack of cooling from the HVAC system. Local temps cooled off a bit but I decided to see what I could find out before I got hot again.

Started playing with the system in the driveway and discovered good cooling capacity on the passenger side but just mildly cool air coming out of the drivers side vents. This seemed to be true on both the front and back. I hooked by laptop up and noticed single digit temps at the evaporator. When I brought the temps down on the climate control the right side exchanger would get down to around 12C but the Left would struggle to get to 22C and if I moved the passenger side requested temp up the drivers side exchanger temp would follow even though the requested temp on the drivers side was low. There was a display for the Left and Right regulating valves but they seemed parked at 0.0 unless I made a cabin temp change.

I am guessing the left regulating valve is the problem but know nothing of how this system works. 2004 Phaeton V8 ....

Hyundai - Elantra :: Heat Blows Hot On Driver Side And Cool On Passenger Side

My wife drives a 2010 Hyundai Elantra with a 5speed manual trans with about 40K mi on it . We purchased the service maintenance package that covers all scheduled major and regular maintenance. A year ago they replaced the head gasket because they discovered a small oil seep. Well a couple of weeks ago I noticed that the heat is fine on the drivers side and blows cool on the passenger side. This is a problem particularly when defrosting the windshield.

When she brought it in for the next scheduled service a couple of days ago I asked that she mention this problem to the service people. Their response was "we need to do a cooling system flush which would not be covered by the service contract" to the tune of a couple a hundred bucks. The coolant is the transparent green it should be due to it being changed one year ago so I have my doubts about it being the heater core.
