Seat wiring spec
Does anyone know the specs for the heated seat wiring? I have ditched the heated seats and am considering using the wiring for something else but just wanted to check what sort of load it can handle, presumably it has a relay as I’m guessing heating takes a fair bit!
Thanks in advance😉

Just to add to Martins comment above, the Td5 seat heater circuit is fed from a single 20A fuse. (Same seat heaters.)

Same with the Puma, there's a common 20A fuse supplying both switches.

However take care adding new loads as there is a "weak" link in the ground path, there is only a single 0.5mm² cable acting as the ground for both seats (see below).
