DIY Heated Seats Fuse Tap Question

[Sebt1890]

Greetings everyone! I bought a set of universal seat heaters from ebay (link here). I installed them on the passenger seat and ran the cables to the fuse box. I'm totally new to this and have been watching some videos on how to install them but I'm a little confused. According to the diagram, there's only 1 spot for heated seats. In order to get both to work how would I get the wires (There's 2 per seat) into the one fuse box? I read somewhere that some people split the wires?

I set the ground wire to a spot underneath the pedal and attached the red cable to the Heated Seat tap. There's a red/yellow one as well that is to go into the Ignition Switch but I have my Raptor Lights on there.

I've added the diagram along with the pdf instructions for added info.

Thanks!

If you want to talk about 12v wiring let me know. We can do a phone call.

Normally to use the open spot on the stock fuse box you will need to unbolt the fuse box so you have access to the bottom side of slot 13 to get wires in there.
You can connect the 2 wires together and run just one thicker wire to that location or run them both there. One side of the Fuse spot will be powered from the bus you will be connecting to the other side and your wires will be fed power through the fuse. This is a little trickier way to wire something up, but in the end it is a clean install.

Option 2 would be to use a tap off of any other 12V positive and use a relay that would provide power from the battery, Only when the key is on.
You don't need to mess with the fuse box with this, and you would use an inline fuse to protect this setup.

I just did this on my Tacoma and I used some fuse taps and ran the wires to the interior fuse panel. I used the fuses for the front and rear passenger side windows for the fuse taps.

Thank you for clearing that up. I wound up doing Option one. I'll probably end up redoing some of the work when i get my lights installed but for now this will do.
