Seat cooler problem on my 04' CL500

Has anyone experience problems with the seat coolers? Both seats aren't working properly (still cool a little bit but not much). Do you know what is the most commun problem(s) and is it something I can fix myself?
Thanks for your input.

to make something clear first is that these cars do not have "cooling" seats just ventilated. the fans just blow regular air through, not cooled or anything. I have this on both my 04 E320 and our 02 CL500, but i must say the CL's does feel stronger (maybe more fans cause the seat is wider/bigger or something).

I guess I should have said that the ventilation isn't as strong as it used to be. Has anyone experienced this problem?

that is odd for both to be blowing weak. i would say it's a fan, but if both are doing it, i highly doubt something would have happened to both seats at exactly the same time. idk. maybe something with not getting enough juice. when you go through the 3 blower levels, can you still feel a difference or do they all feel the same?

I think that I can feel the difference a little bit after a while. At the same token, it could be my mind playing tricks on me. Is there a particular fuse or relay just for the fans? This is just weird.
