That, or get a bit more complex with the setup.
Ugh....a latching relay set-up. I guess I am going to end up with a row of toggles.......which I quite like. Un fortunately they don't fit well with the style of the interior.

Or, you can use a step relay.

I am not familiar with these but perhaps this would have the added capability of running the engine compartment fan as well.....less relays

Have any found a schematic of the seat heater switches? I would like to be able to use it to activate the radiator fans with one position and the engine bay with the other. One switch to do both functions.

I installed a very simple 4- channel remote / relay setup, with a 4- button key fob. Button A toggles my exhaust bypass valves. Button B is blank. C toggles the engine bay purge fan. Button D toggles the high speed radiator fans. When C and D are toggled "off" they work per OEM.

I did this because my car sees a lot of track time in 95d+ ambient temperatures.

I'll admit that I think i need some indicator LED's somewhere since I can't always hear when they're on, if the engine is running.

Sounds like a great set up any details on the equipment you used? I have seen many remote exhaust valve actuators but not any remote controlled contacts
