    With the insane heat and humidity here in Oklahoma, I roll with the driver side seat cooler on full time for over half the year. Well it finally bit the dust. Anyone have experience repairing or troubleshooting these? Looking for common issues or a place to start. Searched a few pages and didn't find any threads.

    Thanks!

    If your truck is a 2018 it should be under warranty. Let the dealer fix it.

    I believe the only warranty I have left is powertrain at 45k.

    Gotcha, didn't think it would have that many miles. I would still reach out to Toyota and the dealer you purchased from and see what they say. Maybe they'll cover on a courtesy.

    My wife's Sequoia had a warranty issue with the leather and it got denied as a normal wear and tear with only 20k miles. I mentioned it to the dealer multiple times. Opened a case with corporate at 38k miles and they offered me $1,000 reimbursement for any money spent on parts or service.

    Worth a shot but I suspect I'll be out of pocket if I go that route.

    True, the aren't many parts involved with this. I think the motor is accessible from the bottom sides of your seats, if you pull the seats out of your truck. Anyone else confirm this?
