Battery maintenance question

[Richard320]

I know this thread is a couple months old. But hopefully you will see this.

I was under the impression the power ports on these trucks were all keyed. I know the one on the dash of my truck in that little tray area turns off after I shut the truck off because thats where I plug in my dash cam.

Is there another in the truck that is direct to the battery??? (My old 2006 Jeep Wrangler had one of each. They were labeled which made it great.) I have a solar panel with cig lighter plug on it I got from a volkswagen dealer years ago. They put them in some vehicles that are shipped to the US. A buddy was a salesman at a VW dealer and he got me one for cheap. It is branded as a VW part. I thought of using it but like I said, thought they were all keyed and not direct to battery.

You just move a fuse to get constant battery to the 12V outlet. It's in the owner's manual but the picture is bad. But they use a two pin fuse in a three pin slot. To one side is B+, the center is to the plug, and the last one is switched. So just move it over one.

Cool.... Thanks both of you. I will read the manual and find it. I appreciate it! Happy New Year.
