I bought Forum recommended seat heaters and got to thinking about power source—I have the unused heater and wiper motor wires available (and thought I could also add a USB charger). Are these acceptable sources?

I don’t see why not. They are individually fused. What is the amperage draw if the seat heaters? I’ve never used them. The heater in particular uses a 12 gauge wire I believe.

Heater circuit works fine for the heated seats if you're not installing a heater or A/C. I've used it for a couple builds. For my Coupe, which does have heat and A/C, I used the choke circuit in the RF harness. 15 amps and handles the seats just fine.
