Wiring up 5 Dorman 628-040 Heated seat kits. Opinions needed.

Hey guys,

I have installed Katkinz Leather Seat Covers in my new truck I picked up, and I have also installed 5 Dorman Universal Heated Seat Kits (628-040). Which are 10A fused to a switched 12v ckt with a relay. They want you to use a fuse tap to gain power. However since I have 5 I would like to know if I can run a 12AWG ling to power this fuse/distribution block. Then just use there switched B+ line to tie into this block, or what the best way is to go about it?

I have attached links to the Dorman Kit, and the Distribution/Fuse Block I want to use.

I made a similar post in the misc electrical section 5 days ago but only have tons of views, no replies. This coming week I have off, and would like to knock out the wiring before the temps fall off here in Illinois, and I return to work for a few months...

Thanks Scott,

Yes I will use each harness supplied with the kits, and keep them individual legs to the elements. Plan on locating the distribution block under my center console.

What size fuse should I use in the line feeding the block do you think, keep it to a 10?

Relays in the harnesses are 12V 40/30A
