you can run 2 or 3 of the motors at the same time. Tilt, for example, runs=

Subject: [Shop-talk] keeping the smoke in----fuse selection for a circuit
I=E2=80=99m wiring for my power seats in my truck project. My wiring harnes=
s didn't include this circuit so I'm coming off a battery termination point=
. Thinking about fusing each seat. The internal wiring is 14 ga and doing a=
amp check I read from 3-6 amps with any of the 3 motors (tilt/raise/for-ba=
ck) running and around 12 amps when you hit the stops and the motor stalls.=
I know 14 ga is good for 18-20 amps but I'm trying to decide how much to f=
use it.. I wanna keep the smoke inside but don't want to fuse too high.... =
would you consider a percentage over stall amp draw or running amp draw....=
. and what safety factor ??=C2=A0 I should already know this at my age...
