Default Upgrading to XLT bench seat

Alright everyone, I have a 96 F150 XL with the plain bench, and am upgrading to the XLT bench with small armrest and power lumbar, is the power and ground for the power lumbar in the under seat harness or will I have to run a constant hot to the fuse panel or battery?

The XLT harness has 2 plugs, one for the seat belt and one for the power lumbar. I don't think the XL's normally came with that harness, so yeah, new wire.

Thanks. I'm going to run a wire to the fuse block by the dash, and I have an open spot where the 20A circuit breaker for the power lumbar, etc would go and I'll just ground to the body under the seat. What size fuse/breaker should I use?

I did the same thing on a XL, just taped into wire for the dome light that runs along driver door sill.
