'06 Ram with leather heated seats. I live in Florida (read hot as fire except for the week of winter). I hate the HOT seats. Even after a few minutes of driving when the cab has cooled down, the seat is still fire hot because there is nowhere for the heat to go except into my back and butt.
I am looking for suggestions. I have searched for aftermarket thermoelectric seat coolers and have found none. I know it is possible as they are available on many models as oem equipment. The same thermoelectric cells that heat the seats also cool just by reversing the polarity-switching the negative and positive power cables.
So here is my question: has any tried or thought about trying reversing the polarity to the seat heating elements to make them cool the seat instead? Or are the heating elements in these seats simple resistance heaters rather than peltier effect cells? Or does anyone know of an aftermarket seat cooling system? (not that seat fan thing) Thanks
