I have seen several posts on adding power seats and they have been very helpful but I find myself with two questions still which are as follows.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
1. To power both seats do I only need a single 30 amp circuit for both seats or two separate circuits?<o></o>
<o></o>
2. What is the best place to pull the circuit from?<o></o>
<o></o>
Any help is appreciated.

 

I ran a circuit for each seat, I installed a fuse box wired off the battery under the hood and placed the relays behind the kick panels. I converted to all power windows, seat (will be doing the passenger shortly) and mirrors. Cant get the door lock to work with the AM remote so I dont have them hooked up.

With the fuse box hot all the time, you will have seats and whatever wired in able to be moved but its not a big deal in reality unless you just want to have them tied into the key. Then you will need to find a key on hot wire to tap into for the fuse box.

 

I jumped a wire from the constant on cig lighter.

 

Yeah I thought about that last night as I was looking around but then I saw that the Data Link Connector is on the same fuse, at least for the 2000 Ranger it is. So right now I am thinking that the Auxiliary Power Socket is the way to go. I do not use it anyway and it has a 20A fuse on it already. The one bad thing with it though is that it only has what seems to be a 14# wire coming off of it. I would really feel beter if it was a 12# wire. Either way I was thinking of running that to a 6 way fuse block and then run two 10A circuits off that. One for each seat.
