I am wondering if anyone has found a 12V key on power supply to tap into for a mag light rechargeable flashlight.

I don’t have a Laramie, I have a tradesman, but I tapped into an ignition on source under the PDC used the ign on trigger wire to power a relay wired to the battery. I’ll see if I can find the pic of the pdc underside which shows which wire is the ign on power to trigger your relay. I’m sure there is any easier way, but this is the way i did it.

Newbie question.

This is very interesting.

F983 sounds like what I need. My big horn doesn’t have a cab power outlet (assuming they mean inverted power) so this circuit would be available.....but my fuse box looks nothing like the diagram. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong thing.....?

A couple more 12v outlets and some USB power outlets, some of which will power a dash cam and wireless camera setup on a trailer, another of which will power a small inverter, tire inflator, etc.

Just FYI. Any "tire inflator" small enough to run on a cigarette lighter plug isn't really going to work with 80psi tires.

Thanks. Luckily: My current inflator runs off 110.

(Yes, I should have got a truck with the built in 110 outlet run off an internal inverter but alas I didn't order new from the factory, so I've got what I've got!)
