Heated seats 
Fuel pump is inside the fuel tank and will only run until the fuel pressure is built up, only a second or two usually if the engine isnt started up

Manual Ford T.I.S CD wiring diagrams say that it will run all the time, but then again
they told us to remove the rear view mirror UPWARDS too.

Woah... Being a desperate soul, I've been tracing back my tracks, thinking of which things
have worked and which not.
Yesterday I started hearing sssrrrr! after wiggling the Fuel pump relay, this has bothered me
all night. "oh no, my fusebox cannot be rotten, it has worked just fine...". Today this, so well
known phenomenan, possessed my mind to the point where I just had to go on and rip the
aux fuse box out. And guess what? Yeah right... white oxygenated connections, some of
them broke off... Did not get any better after removing the first plastic layer under the
fusebox, more broken connectors. All in really bad shape. Looks like someone has pee'd
in my fusebox
Well then, why am so happy then? I don't know 
I have an extra aux. box. It's from a -93 Granny, looks very clean and looks exactly the
same as the later one. Had a quick look on the numbers underneath the box, they're
the same too. Only noticeably difference where that two fuse holders had plastic blocks
in different places than in the later model. I used a knife to scrape them of and I'm going
to give it a shot today. Now I'm off to shop to buy some electric cleaning spray, to clean
out the white stuff from the connectors...
Still would appreciate if KIMI would come on-line, after this has been fixed, I will have the
PATS to overcome (I think)
Later...

Ok, new fusebox is in place. Seem to have lost the interior lights and door warning lights, but
the fusebox from Granny was absolutely new. It seems it has been renewed in the near
past of the car. (It's a breaking project, not my every day motoring Granny). Still no go,
injectors srrrrrr! and engine turns if power connected directly to starter. Now anxiously
waiting if KIMI has really cracked it...
Tried mailing him directly, but his quota is full. Anybody know
KIMI? Give him a ring, there's one desperate Scorpio owner here

Aaaand The Greatest THANKS goes toooo ... KIMI!
The engine now turns from the key.
That saved me some time.
Now ALL I need to do is to start sorting out the C113 to C112 conversion.
Only one wire is in the same place in 24V and in 16V. I spent quite a lot of
time cutting and pasting the Wiring diagrams into a map of starting & ignition
system last night.
Lots of work has been done and a lot remains... Will keep you posted.

When i rewired the engine loom on my cossie i had the impression that the pins from a connector could come out. Maybe it's easier for you to move the pins with the wires that are already there. For example the ECT, TPS, IAC. You only need to double check the polarity etc.

Thanks Octavian, I've got a remedy - the guy who I sold my Cossie engine to has a wiring loom for me.
(because I sold it with the engine, thinking I could just plug everything into the existing 24V loom, which
looked SO so the same... boy was I wrong).
Ok, it will take a lot of time, but I'm going to remove the current engine & gearbox wiring looms,
then wait for the new one to come back to me (stupid me, I might add) and then put it in. At least
I now have a "from the key turning engine to work with"
