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...</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><br><br>john<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><br>https://jniolon.classicpickup.com/<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
