Both of the 9000's I had, had 3 selectable levels of heat. I would also think that you could determine the current draw rather easily if you have an ammeter. Just unplug the heated seat fuse, hook up your ammeter in lieu of the fuse and then turn the seat heaters on to each of the 3 positions and record the current drawn. Multiply by two if your passenger opts to have warm buns as well. -- -Fred W
