997.2 Air conditioned seat fan turns on by itself

[Joel 928]

My 997.2 drivers side seat fan will turn on by itself. It turns on when the car begins to accelerate and then will turn off when the car stops. The power switch for the seat fan is not activated. I took it to the local shop and they believe it is the seat module. They called around for a replacement and apparently there are none at Porsche (until 2024!!!).

Has anyone else had this problem? Is it possible to purchase a used one, is it programmed? If it is programmed, can it be reprogramed? Don't want to purchase a used one if it can't be reprogrammed.

Finally, I guess I will have to look internationally for my part if it is possible to install a used one. What are some used Porsche parts places in Europe or England. I have done a short search and have not really found any places that would stock a used seat module.


Thanks!!
