Does anyone know if the active motion massage seats can be added after purchase or if they will be a retro fit from ford at a latter date

[t-bone82]

So I’ve scoured this thread and the forums a few times and cannot find the video of the ford mechanic taking the drivers seat apart on a 350 to replace the motor for the massage seats. The reason I ask is my 2022 platinum that came with the massaging seats had the driver side quit at you guessed it 37,000 miles. So I researched and found that video and this thread and thought it would be easy to do so went ahead and ordered a replacement motor (fuse was good). If anyone has that link to the video to share that would be greatly appreciated!

If I remember right, the bottom pump is a separate part. It is also on the bottom of the seat, so there should be very little to take apart to change the pump.

Is it the back or bottom that stopped working?

Have you listened to see if the pump is running, just not inflating?

Nothing happens when I turn it on, and the display comes with just lumbar options no way to turn massage on. We did drop it at the dealer for analysis and they came back with this attached.

Very easy to replace with the seat out, with the seat in you may have to look w/ your hands. Shouldn't be difficult either way. With the replacement pump in-hand it's much easier to have an understanding for what you're looking for.

Is it possible to just do the drivers side?

I would think so.
After all drivers parts are installed, just enable the driver's seat on Forscan and don't do the passenger

Finally ordered the remaining parts that I need to start this little project. Now I wait for them.

I've asked this question before, but maybe just not in the right place. Has anyone installed 13th gen (15-20) heated/ cooled/ massage seats in a 21+ and gotten them to work? I just came across a "like new" set for the same price as it would cost to buy the parts to make the massage work in my driver's seat. They also match my interior better.

You could try it but they made huge changes in the module setup on the seats between 13 and 14. For 13th gen the dsm only dealt with seat memory and the heated and cooled seats are controlled by the psm where for 14 gen it’s all controlled by the dsm now including adding power running boards if your truck has those. It wasn’t that hard when I put 16 platinum seats in my 17 xlt but I wouldn’t go cross gen for that stuff With all of the changes.

I did add power running boards. I was wondering if I could use my DSM with the 13th gen seats.

maybe. The seat motors are the same and the blowers are the same and the mul contour module is the same but ford changed how they did the heated part in I think 18 or 19 to run the heating pad again. Your best option would be to get the 14th gen harness as well for it if you do it. As the dsm plugs are different between gens

 

[My42waffles]

I will have to check my helm books when I get home to compare 13 and 14 gen wiring to verify what also is different

You could probably use the seats. if they mount.. The issue may be the wiring may be different between 13 and 14 gen.

THe motors themselves are all the same and use a hall effect sensor for the memory.

The harness for the seat just may be different along with the MCS system will NOT work. I know that for sure.

Not even when setting classic multi contour on sync? Cause I’m about to wire in mc on my fusion with sync 4 and was going to use that to control it.
