Direct Battery Connection Inside
What's the simple way of getting a direct battery power inside a 2003 C5?
I already have some items connected to the accessory wires within the fuse pannel.
I'm going to install heated seats and the recommend connection is direct to the battery with a 10 gauge wire.

I have EXACTLY what you need! I did the heated seat install and connected my main power leads to the B+ terminal on the under hood fuse block! I used #10 guage wire with fuse holders directly off that terminal.
Here are some pictures of the install.If you have ANY questions, please let me know!

Here is where I put the wires through into the passengers foot well. I used a coat hanger bent into a smooth loop to fish the wires in under the rubber seal. Almost looks factory!

Make sure you wire the seat controller wires to aswitched source! I used the switched auxilary wires in the passengers foot well.undefined
