I have a 2010 Ford Edge with a Compustar cm6000. I would like to control the heated seats.
Can someone tell me the best way to do this?
I also have the OP500 programmer.
I the can program it to turn the seats on below 32 deg.
I checked the wire that controls the seat and it has battery voltage until you press the heated seat switch then it momentarily drops to .125 volts the back to battery voltage.
Thanks,

Try grounding that wire for about 1 sec.
The worst you can do is to blow a fuse.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

Ok will give it a try this weekend.
Would it help if I post the wiring diagrams?
Thx

Actual wiring diagrams of the heated seats circuit or just wire lists that you can get from DEI / wiremagic / etc? Wire diagrams of the actual circuit would probably help but I have a feeling they are ground pulse activated like Howie said. If you hold the button in, does that wire continue to show ground (voltage drop)? And does it still show ground (voltage drop) when pressing it again to turn the seats off?
