I am in the process of adding the Vintage Air heater. I have a question on the wiring.

I found the Ron Francis brown wire, a 20A fuse circuit, that is switched, (I'm pretty sure anyway). The Vintage Air system comes with a 30A breaker hard wired into the power feed wire. How do I hook up the heater so that it is switched through the ignition switch? I assume that I don't want to connect the blue VA 30A wire to the RF 20A brown wire. I take it that the RF harness was figuring on the heater being a 20A unit. Maybe it is, but that 30A Breaker has me confused. I think the VA folks had their blue 30A wire going to a hot feed.

Any one else run into that problem?

Here's the switch with the breaker.

it definately should be switched, i believe everyone is using the RF power feed, which is fused. I would cut the breaker out and use the supplied wire. 30A is overkill. Its only a blower motor and a resistor for speed adjustment. Make sure you ground the blower well.
