What is the reason for the malfunction of the GAC GS5 seat ventilation panel?
2 Answers
GAC GS5 seat ventilation panel cannot be used due to poor contact at the port from the back wiring harness to the bottom of the seat. 1. Vehicle Positioning: The GAC GS5 is positioned as a mid-to-high-end urban SUV, with dimensions of 4732X1854X1680 and a wheelbase of 2710mm. 2. Powertrain: The GAC GS5 is equipped with two engines: a 2.0L-DCVVT and a European advanced turbocharged 1.8T. 3. Technology and Safety Features: The GS5 comes with a GPS voice navigation system, a 7-inch HD touchscreen, 180-degree wide-angle dual-view reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity, Bosch's latest ninth-generation ESP system, EPB electronic parking brake, PEPS keyless entry and one-button start, leather multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, electric anti-pinch sunroof, 10-way power-adjustable heated leather seats, dual-zone independent intelligent automatic climate control, and other tech and safety features.
My car had a similar issue before where the seat ventilation suddenly stopped working. After inspection, it was often a blown fuse located in the vehicle's fuse box, which is easy to replace and test. It could also be caused by loose wiring connections, plug looseness, or corrosion leading to interrupted current. A malfunctioning fan motor or internal dust blockage can also cause the function to fail. The system automatically shuts down for protection when temperatures are too high, but usually, the main causes are damaged panel buttons or control module errors. In the Trumpchi GS5, the electronic system is relatively stable, but problems are more likely to occur after prolonged use. It's recommended to first check the fuse yourself; if that doesn't work, take it to a professional shop for inspection, and also check if the battery and alternator voltage are normal. Keeping the seats clean can prevent such faults. If the ventilation doesn't work while driving, it affects comfort but not safety, so you can handle it when you have time—just don't delay until it becomes a major repair with high costs.
