Anyone ever have their heated/cooled seats stop working? When I turn them on with the MFT nothing happens, I do not hear the fans running like usual. The wife really enjoys the heated seats in the winter and I really enjoy the cooled seats in the summer.

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated as I have read the manual and it says to diagnose with ford specific tools and I do not like any of my nearby dealers as they are always trying to up sell something.

I believe it is both sides. I suppose this weekend I will turn them on and then put the seats up in the air to see if I can hear the fans. I remember when the cooled portion was one the fans were audible, but not obnoxious.

If it's both I would check the fuse. It controls both seats.
I remember reading someone on taurusfourm found a broken wire on the driver side seat cushion and soldered the wire back together, but it was only the driver side not working.

So I suppose the seats would show as on, in the MFT but could be the fuse. I will check the fuse this weekend. I need to find a reasonable dealer in the area. Thank you very much for the response.

Found the Taurusclub write up.
It's for a 2010-12 though. Should be pretty similar for newer.

Well, I went and checked the fuse, it is fine. Took it out and checked continuity seemed just fine. I also looked at the connections below the seats and they both look fine. Any other ideas?

ZSHO yes my heated steering wheel does work. Sorry about the signature, it should be updated now. My SHO is stock out of the box.

I would try removing the ground (negative)cable from the battery for at least "five" min and see if that helps,you might loose your settings but worth a shot.  Z

Just curious, do none of them work (heated/cooled driver, heated/cooled passenger, heated rears)?

I would think that info could help you to diagnose the problem as well.
