Dunk,
Have you only got the switches? I got the loom inc switches from Matt and the Waeco kit. I'm intending to ditch the whole Waeco loom and use only the genuine loom and switches. The Waeco switches are two way and genuine only one, I'm quite happy to live with just one heat setting though. |

Hi got the whole kit.
Just don't like the look of the Waeco switches , sad but true. Also done a search of the forum and wiring seems ok, most in battery box, just where to connect the Orange wire ? The switched live

Ask Matt @ FCX I think it's in the instructions of fitting.
Basically I'm intending to just use the Waeco heat pads and thats it, the rest the new loom. So I'll only have one heat setting and the two way Waeco switches I won't use. After all genuine heated seats are configured this way anyway. |

I've been out doing mine today, I am just going to wire up using Waco switches to make sure it all works then swap for carling switches on my mud console. I found a switched live that was just lying about, no idea where it came from but seems to work and everything else still seems to be working
I have decided to leave the relay and fuses behind the mud console and run the cables to the seats through the gearbox tunnel in convoluted trunking and come up under the cubby box. I have lifted it by 3 inches so plenty of room for all the wiring. It appears that the relay will always be powered up with the ignition switched on, so I am going to add a switch on the feed to the relay so that I need to switch it on rather than coming on and off every time I turn the ignition on and off, I'm assuming I am right in this assumption? 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6 1994 Def 90 300tdi |

I'd have thought the relay should engage only when turned on with a heat setting only not with the ignition.
After all, otherwise it may as well be directly connected to a switched ignition live anyway. It seems to switch between the two settings somehow but on a 4 pole relay I cannot see how it does so but I'm not an expert. It seems to be a normally open contact relay that's only engaged with power to one pin. I.e. 86 trigger 85 earth 87 perm live 30 power out to device / item used. It could be that the draw is actually switched with the current running though the actual switch? After all there would be a max draw of 2.95A which isn't much. |
