I am wiring my new electric cutout. I need to connect it to power somehow. I have one red, and one black wire. I noticed the wiring harness for the power seat also has one red and one black wire and it occurred to me maybe I could do it? Is it possible, has anyone done it?

If you are going to do this, suggest that you switch the breaker for a fuse. The circuit (shared between power seats and rear defroster) is notorious for being balky due to the aging breaker.)

Replacing the breaker with a fuse isn't the best thing to do, but it shouldn't harm anything and is probably the lesser of two evils for what you'll be doing with the circuit. (Lest you operate your cutout and defroster at the same time and have the circuit take a dump on you, etc.)

Mine is wired this way (https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...-approach.html)
and I used an inline circuit breaker where I took the power off even
though the seat feed is fused somewhere upstream.
