[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 520451, member: 28452"] Personally I would only use an ignition controlled circuit for the feed to ensure the heaters can't be left on without the engine running. The window circuit MAY meet that criteria but I wouldn't be sure. You also don't know what load the window motors draw should they be operated simultaneously. It's common to use the cigar lighter / auxiliary circuit for extras. I think that is commonly fused 20 amp which is fine for 2 X 5amp loads. [/QUOTE]
