Where to get power for heated seats?
So I have have this 2012 fit since new, love it and put "leather" Clazio seat covers on it right away. Go them from Bean Garage. Very good service. I had to special order to get the color I wanted so delivery took many weeks. But they told me that, so no surprises.
I also put heater pads on the front seats, two on each and installed a nice dual switch that I got on eBay. All works well but I can't find a power source that shuts off with the ignition.
I have the backlight for the switch and the power for the heater relay all fuse protected and run to one wire. And I have found a good spot in the fuse panel that has power with the key, and turns off a couple of seconds after the key is removed. Then I plug in the new wiring and it stays on. Damnedest thing. It's got me pretty confused.
Where have you guys got power from for seat heaters? I would like to not have to run thru the firewall.
Thanks

My pads came with a three way switch. On/low/high. I mounted them on the lower centre panel of the dash and connected then to the Aux outlet. All the wiring is jammed in under the console.
