Don't know if it helps but the fuse covering it and the heated seats is a 20amp. Fuse 43 in the auxillary fusebox.

As long as the heater is rated 12volt you will be OK...had to do the same recently as my heater module blew the thermal fuse....soldered a new one up and module is now as good as new. Different setup in the 24 valves so you may need a complete CC panel....good luck.
