Ignition switched supply under seats.
I'm thinking of running some switches from the cubby box to supply heated seats and some additional electrical items. Is there a convenient ignition switched supply I can safely tap into in this area? How about from the ECU compartment? I would use it to trigger relays while drawing the main juice from the battery directly.

Any thoughts guys? 1999 Td5 110 CSW

I gave up Shocked and ran switched wires from the dash console where I installed my switches as well. I ran the wires under the floor sound mat and under the seat box matting to the seats. Watching for future reference. 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)
