Why are resettable fuses used on power seats?
I installed power seats in my coach and about to wire them up. In doing research when it comes to the wiring, it perplexes me why are resettable fuses used instead of just regular fuses. Anyone know the reasons?
If there was a short, I'd want my fuse to below, not automatically reset, only to blow again, and repeat. I'd want the fuse to blow, break the circuit and figure out what caused it.
Also, I'm discovering that most power to the seats are connected to the chassis battery, but then some have connected up to the house. I'm trying to think if one way is better than the other. The only advantage I can see in connecting up to the house batteries, is that the chassis batter will not get drained from using the seats...case in point; my seats are heated...what if the button accidently got depressed and the seats are heating all night...go to start your engine only to find the chassis battery is dead.
Anyone want to share their thoughts on this?
