Fuse sizing for sports seats?
My sports seats never worked.... The electrical harness has been all butchered up with after market alarms, radios/amps, who knows what else.... no clue where the original seats harness went.
Anyone know what fuse size to put with the 2 seats, 2 way adjustables.... Im just gonna tap a constant 12v and put an inline buss fuse. Or, is there any spare fuse blocks that I can use that I dont know about? TIA! |

I don't know, but I have a set I'm installing this winter, so I'm very interested in the answer!
The experts are going to need to know what year car? -Dan

True... The sports seats are from an 86 carrera.

Mine are actually the same! I know purists will scream in agony, but they're comfortable, I think they look great, and I look forward to having more than only forward and back as adjustments.
Besides, the Carrera power seats are likely quite a bit lighter than the '69 horsehair stuffed originals! -Dan

what size is the wire? you normally fuse for the load the wire can handle, not necessarily for the item on the end. fwiw when i installed power 993 seats in my SC i used 12g wire and a 20a fuse.
