Default C-7 Seat Fans not working

My 2016 seat fans works on the passenger side but not the drivers side. The lights on the switch do lite up? Any Ideas out there?

You'd probably have better luck posting this in the C7 Tech/Performance forum. This is a forum for the ZR1.

Default Fuse?

Unless there is a in-line fuse between the switch and seat. I doubt it. The lights work on the switch and the passenger side works fine.

Check the connectors under the seat. Do not mess with the air bag connectors unless you disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes.

Check your connections under the seat. If they are ok, perhaps the fan itself has gone bad.

I’ll get the sarcastic response out of the way now so we don’t have to waste anymore time on it:

How can you even tell if they work, they are so ineffective?

Ok now reality, have you done any work on the dash, console, seats or electrical system that might have disturbed any of the components in these areas?

Check Fuse F30A in the underhood electrical center. The seat heating/cooling electrical design permits the dash lights to light when the switch is pushed but that doesn't mean the cooling fan has power.

To my knowledge the dash has not been removed. There are 3 fans and I disagree, they feel great on those hot days.

Thanks for the schematic. The odds all 3 fans are broken are unlikely. Fuse is ok. The passenger side work fine. Both on the same fuse.

The driver seat fans were inop on my 19 Grand Sport. The tech re seated the connectors and all is well now.
