Its actually the heated power seat relay. I checked every fuse in the panel and this is the only one I could find that is switched. Its only on when the engine is RUNNING, it doesn't come on while in ACC mode.

Its a 10 amp fuse, and if memory serves, it's in the block of mini fuses at the bottom of fuse panel in the passenger footwell, the top, rightmost one. I got a "Mini Add-A-Line" thingy at AutoZone, part number BP/HHH. You take out the fuse, put that fuse in the bottom of the "Add-A-Line" thingy, and add another fuse for your accessory, crimp your lead to it and insert it in the fuse panel. It's very cool and takes about 2 minutes to install.
