Hey guys, if your looking for the ultimate way to wire your controller into the #58 Heated Seats fuse for a keyed pwr switch, this is the way to do it!

Thats exactly what i used, and yes use the #58 for power, i tried using fuse #10 labeled "spare", it has pins in it but it has no power.

Well, after a good few weeks of testing, I can say I havnt really seen any improvement in my fuel mileage actually. Im kinda surprised, figured it would have made at least some difference.

Hmm, Im wondering if I have gotten improvements but the quality of fuel in my area has gone done, as in more ethanol.

That is the biggest issue for me also. You can do all the gas saving mods you want, but as soon as they add more ethanol to the gas, it becomes worthless.

My last 2 tanks have surprisingly been almost 17mpg (miles divided by gallons)

Yea, cuz for a couple tanks before I did it, I had averaged about 20mpg doing miles/gallons, and afterwards Ive been getting about 18.5-19mpg. I know it couldnt have made things worse. Its just a crapshoot as to how much ethanol is in any particular fill up.

Hey guys, having a bit of a issue with my fan setup. For some reason I keep having issues with the fan controller will start blinking say it has a fan speed error. It only does it at times when I have had it the a/c switch on, then turned off for a bit and turn it back on and the fan will quit working. Its highly annoying and I cant figure out why its doing it. If anyone has any ideas what it might be please help, or if there is some way to simply set it up so that the fan will run 100% all time while the truck is on. Any ideas?
