Well I have this setup in Miffy.
The safest way to do this is to wire the switch through a relay to activate the heated seat kit. Then there will be almost no current running through the switch. This is how I have wired Miffys heated seats up. There are two ways to incorporate the LR switch. The first is directly through a relay whilst retaining the two stage switch currently in the kit. The second is to rewire the loom so there is only the LR switch and only one temperature. The former is the easiest way if the kit has already been installed and wired up. The latter requires you to make up a loom so the seat pads are only in parallel. Which ever route you take include a relay to protect the relay and it will be A-OK. |

that is very interesting, thanks for replying on this one. If i am to wire up the land rover switches to feed the DA5717 kit say in high temp heat only, do you know when feed wires i need to wire into on the heated seat kit ?
or if I am to do the latter, i presume could i not just join the switched live feed to the single wire that feeds both the heat pads ? |

I used the Waeco kit which is probably the same as the Britpart one. I just wired up the 'high' power setting and used the OEM switches with some relays.
You should be able to work out which wires to use without too much hassle as in low power mode they are connected in series and in high power they are connected in parallel. Cheers, Steve 02' 110 TD5 Double Cab Rebuild Thread |

lovely thanks Steve, that helps. I will have a look and check which is the live feed for the high setting and go from there.
again thanks |
