12 volt charger question

Does the 12 volt charger stay on when the ignition is off?

 

No.

I was told at my dealership that they hooked there heated seat installs to the 12v charger for power.

 

Makes sense, so you cannot run your battery down by leaving the seat heat on without the key in the on position

 

auggie Thanks so much !!! Do you think it would be safe to do this. I'm getting ready to install heated Katzkins myself. There is a 12v charger inside the console box that I can use but only if its safe.

 

Not familiar with 3rd gens but I would check how many amps the heated seats pull. The dealer might have meant the relay for the heated seats is hooked to the 12v charger circuit.

Sorry piece of junk instructions say use a max of 12 amp fuse

 

God the Father help this poor man! Even what little I know I'm sure you have to do all that.
