Heated/Cooled seats problem identified

[JExpedition07]

I know the 07-14 system pretty well. We have twin blowers and twin TED (Thermal Electric Devices) per seat that heat and cool the air as the blower forces it through the TED then through in seat ducts which come out the perforated leather as heated or cooled air. This is a lot of load to put on that little pin, now multiply that by 2 seats and you have 4 blowers and 4 TED units running.....she draws some juice. My 2007 Expedition EL Eddie Bauer will not allow you to run the Climate Control Seats unless the engine running and showing RPM on the tach. You cannot run them like other accessories with just key on. I assume Ford did this to save the battery in engine off conditions. The updated harness spreads out the load to prevent future burns which is why the harness is recommended. I have read somewhere the 15-17 uses old fashioned fan blades instead of squirrel cage blowers like the 07-14 before bobs post but I can not verify that for sure since I haven’t seen that. Can anyone verify this difference? The plug and module appears to be same through all years.

I used a copper wire to connect the burnt one with the one next to it. They are same and will work out.

Where can this plug be found, I would rather fix the issue before it becomes a problem.

I've got the correct crimp dies so I just ordered the connector and terminals only from customconnectorkits. shipped same day. Seems to be the same as the Escalade uses. I'll update if there's any problems. Don't know if I can post links, someone let me know and if I can I'll do that.

I have 3 levels of heat and cool in my 2005.....and a fan.

Seeing this thread motivated me to fix the plug in my 07. Nice to see them working again...

Muddy, Is that plug under the passenger seat? I’m having same issue. I can’t be sure, but I think it began after I disconnected my battery to clean terminals and posts. I currently don’t have a good feel about the location. Thanks. Lee

Sometime around 2009-10 the controls were upgraded to have 3 levels of heat and 3 levels of cooling. This was also the case for Navigators.

My ‘14 KR only has two levels... unless you count “off” as a level.

It also only has one cigarette lighter socket under the controls, not two like JExp shows.

And here I thought mine was the fanciest.
