Removal and Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The cushion Thermo-Electric Device (TED) filter is detachable from the TED assembly housing from underneath the seat cushion.
- Remove the front seat. For additional information, refer to SEAT - FRONT in this service information.
- Fully raise the seat before depowering the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) to aid cushion TED assembly access.
- Disconnect the TED electrical connector.
- Remove the 3 nuts and TED assembly from the cushion frame.
- To install, tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in).
- To install, check for correct fit between the cushion manifold, foam pad and TED assembly, to make sure there is no airflow obstruction, cushion crush or foreign material.
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.
NOTE:
Inspect the climate controlled seat cushion manifold and foam pad for crush or obstruction. Before installation, repair as needed. Failure to do so may cause the climate control to work inefficiently.
