Hello everyone! I am new to the forum. This is my first post. I am not very well versed in this field, so I am reaching out to you knowledgeable and friendly folks to answer a few questions.
I am installing heated seats in both the driver and passenger seats of a vehicle. I have the heating elements installed, but wanted to have another set of eyes or two look at my wiring plan and tell me if I'm doing it wrong or if I will be alright wiring them in this way.
From my photo (horrible drawing, sorry) you can see that the heating elements and switch are wired into a relay for each seat. My plan is to join the grounds & power wires coming in from each relay. The power wires both have an in-line 15 amp fuse on them. The consolidated power wires would be connected to the fuse box via an add a circuit fuse tap on an ignition fuse.
Questions
1) Am I safe to join both ground wires together into one wire with a connector and then secure that one ground wire to a good grounding source?
2) Same question for the power wires. Can I join them? If yes, do I need to keep the in line fuses since I'm tapping into the fuse box?
3) If I don't need the in line fuses, should I install a bigger fuse in the fuse slot I'm tapping into?
4) Would it be better for me to just jump into 2 separate ignition fuse instead of 1?
