Wiring diagram:





On the airflow note, effectively it should blast into and displace the air under the seat. The fan will pull a vacuum under the seat, so it'll end up sucking in blended cool/warm (relatively) into the fan as it draws air from under the seat...

So, really it'd "work" but you wouldn't be displacing all the hot air around the inlet, so it won't get as cold. Honestly they'd cool a helluva lot better if they moved more air, but the vent is a good touch for cool dried air getting directed to your tukuss vs whatever humid weather air it's got to work with.

Correct. The auto light will turn off, but all of the functions you have not adjusted will still automatically adjust based on your temperature setting and the interior temperature.

So like I said, I put the passenger-side shroud on the driver's side. Is the hole close enough to the fan for effective airflow?

I got these same ducts off Etsy. They do in fact make the seat cooler BUT with my memory seat settings and easy exit, it keeps moving the duct out of the vent off the floor. Any suggestions anyone?

Return them if possible and let them know the issue. Hopefully they can update the design if there's room enough underneath to do so. Sounds like it needs a lower profile to allow for the seat moving. Otherwise, keep them and don't use the easy exit feature. Would be a deal-breaker for me. Good luck.
