It was not the blower. 

I have one issue solved.  A relay under the hood was bad.

My heated/cooled seats are still not working though.

When you push the button, all 3 lights illuminate and then turn off within a second.  This happens for both passenger or driver side and for both heated and cooling functions.  No clicking noise is heard that you typically hear from the passenger seat when the system is activated.

Since the blower issue turned out to be a bad relay (yay!), makes sense to verify the Smart Junction Box (SJB) fuse 35 (10A) and Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 22 (30A) are OK for climate controlled seats.

Can you show us that for the blower motor?

They are the black plastic blocks in the Battery Junction Box under the hood.  They say HI PWR or something like that.

BJB fuse 22 is non-existant (just not there at all).

I will have to check the SBJ again when I get a chance, going out of town this weekend but I will report back.

Strange!  Even the owner's manual shows a cartridge fuse #22 (30A, pink?) for front heated seats.  Do you mean that slot is EMPTY?

Yep, empty.  Owners manual also has an asterix by it as well.  Not sure of the reason.

I don't see any * there.  The ** implies the type of fuse, which is a cartridge rather than mini fuse.  But it should be there.  Can you post a pic when you get a chance?  These seats were working before, so it would be good to know what configuration the BJB/PDB has on your SHO.  The passenger compartment fuse panel also, if you can wedge yourself in there :)

What was the production date for your SHO?  You have had the car since new?

Did you ever change your seat filters? if not try changing the filter using your wifes or girlfriends stockings or Thigh High's which makes a great media filter and adds a  touch of appeal to it,lol. here's a good article for ya.  Z      https://www.facebook.com/notes/fordpartscom/fordpartscom-parts-tip-stay-cool-know-about-climate-controlled-seats/223295744373477/   How to change the filters on a 2010+ http://www.fortau.com/heated_and_ventilated_seats-91.html

So, for those who are idiots (me) and you take the fuse out to look at it you have to remember exactly which slot it goes back into.  I must have put it back in the wrong spot when I first looked over all the fuses.

All issues have been resolved.
