My suggestion would be to use a relay wired like:

Pin 30: To positive on battery with 30 amp fuse within 6" of battery post.
Pin 86: Ground
Pin 85: Positive ignition from ignition harness (DEI lists ignition as WHITE/ orange on the 08 Escape)
Pin 87: Out to accessories you are adding

Installer, IT support, and FFL. I need less hobbies.

This is not a constant hot where seat heater be on with the key off is it. I want it where it will be off when key is turn off, so seat heater will not come on. cause some people will never remember to turn it off.
