Default Leaving Ventilated seats on?

IS there anything wrong with leaving the ventilated seats on 3 all the time? I mean ALL the time. Would it mess up the fan or drain my battery? I know...it's a stupid question, but indulge me.

I've been leaving mine on -- at least a week or two now without a problem.

It will have the same effect as keeping the AC fan on without the AC. The fans will most likely live longer than the engine itself for the life of the car.

If not, you can always get a brand new OEM seat with the memory and fans for a mere $2k each...

If my seat ventilator fans were to fail, I doubt I'd even notice. If it weren't for the small amount of sound they make, I'd suspect they'd failed already.

lol.....so true....mine are on 3 all the time even passenger side and the only time I noticed it was cool was when I didn't want it cool and had a bag of hot food sitting on the seat.

I have had mine on constantly for at least a month and am enjoying. Especially when wearing shorts, which I am doing a lot these days. My Wife also finds they work great, in shorts, skirt, bathing suit or birthday suit...maybe I am getting a bit ahead of myself, but did have a great dream the other night
