back with another quick question!
im planning on installing my heated seat elements this/next weekend as soon as my seat covers get delivered and want to know which is the easiest (skilled but im lazy lol) location for a 12v + ACCESSORY wire to power the seats? i was told that i can probably use the cig lighter but im pretty sure that is a constant even tho theres no power when the key is removed (i dont want my battery dead in the morning!) wire colour+location or a pic would be a great help. --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

I would double check the cig spot not sure if it will be able to handle the amps of the heaters.

I doubt it would fail because of the seat heaters, like Box said you can run all sorts of it. Plus it came with an in line 10a fuse so it should be fine (fingers crossed) -------------------- "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |
