I=E2=80=99m wiring for my power seats in my truck project. My wiring =
harness didn't include this circuit so I'm coming off a battery =
termination point. Thinking about fusing each seat. The internal wiring =
is 14 ga and doing a amp check I read from 3-6 amps with any of the 3 =
motors (tilt/raise/for-back) running and around 12 amps when you hit the =
stops and the motor stalls. I know 14 ga is good for 18-20 amps but I'm =
trying to decide how much to fuse it.. I wanna keep the smoke inside but =
don't want to fuse too high.... would you consider a percentage over =
stall amp draw or running amp draw..... and what safety factor ??  I =
should already know this at my age...
