I have a non OEM Recaro seat in my AR. It's electric and I've wired it to the existing seat connections. Problem is that the seat wiring is not on the ignition and the seat has LED lights on the switches and switches for ventilation and heating that are easy to switch on when getting in and out of the car.
I travel a bit and if I'm away for more than a week, the battery's usually dead. I suspect teh LED lights on the seat are doing this as they are on all the time.
Is there any easy way to wire it to the ignition? I had a look in the area around the seat and the only easily accesible wiring appears to be to the rear cigarette lighter with isn't on the igntion either.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Although there is no air bag in the recaro seat. Recaro supply a clip that goes on the airbag wiring to make the computer think there is an airbag there so the warning light doesn't come on.
