12V Dash Always On

[Canadian3500bighorn]

Hi Everyone,

Searched around the forum and have confirmed that 12v in the dash is always on?

I have a 15w wireless car charger plugged into it now. When there is no phone attached do you think this is drawing enough power to run the battery down?

Trying to determine if I should bother moving the fuse.

Thanks!

If you drive the truck on a regular basis, then should not be a problem. The truck's electronics probably draw more. For long term I would pull the charger. However, I would play it safe and move the fuse to work with the ignition anyway. Unless you are charging stuff without the vehicle running.

If it looks like this, only when the key is on.

Unless you move the fuse to make it always hot.

The only 12V outlet in my truck looks like this, and the F90/F91 fuse lets you decide how to power it.
