Always hot power outlets **Pictures!**

glad it worked out for you bud

 

This is great thanks! Will be doing this for sure!

 

glad to hear it could work out for you

 

Some phone chargers use a small amount of power when they are plugged in without the phone. so when you leave the car at the airport for your trip to Tahiti pull the charger

 

agreed!

 

I'm gonna do this this week to mine! I had already done an auxiliary setup with the volt gauge, dual usb ports and another 12v plug on the driver side with a switch to turn it on when I want to use it, but my dometic fridge utilizes that spot.

 

dude.. which dometic fridge did you get?

is it a black or blue one?

 

Black one WITH WI-FI!, with a slide, with a cover.

Got it at overland expo west a few weekends back!

 

I cant find the black one anywhere.

Tell me more.

what size?

what are you waiting forrr!!


PICTAAARRRSSSS!!!!!!!

 

I was in go go go mode last week after I got home for the expo to get ready for this last weekends adventures of boating at lake powell with my buddy and towing his pop up trailer down for him, I had two bad transfer cases that I had to make good and test before friday at 5. So if you have any Q's on how our T-cases come apart or go together, I am the resident expert now LOL.

We did a good bit of exploring at the expo around Sedona and surrounding areas.

Pictures of the expo and the inaugural fridge trip will be up either tonight or tomorrow and I'll for sure post some on here!

OH! and its a 65 qt. You'll laugh when you see how it fits!

 

It would be nice to be able to charge my phone constantly when I leave it in the car. Have you noticed any issue with battery drainage?

 

no sir. I even leave my fridge plugged in overnight and don't have an issue

 

Thank you sir!

 

Ok so, found this thread and was excited to do it to my 2018 4R. No dice, cant find the relay. Bummer.

 

The relays for the 5th gens are very well hidden. I am not sure where it is, but I've heard its difficult to access.

 

Ok I would like to do this but I took two of my outlets and wired lights to them I have a inline switch but will they still draw juice when I turn the inline switches off?

 

i really dont think so.

If you did this and didnt have the inline switch the lights would be on constantly.

flip the switch off and the lights will be off but your outlets will be on.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks Ramon! Not having power to the 12v outlets has bugged me for years, THANK YOU!

 

Will this mod allow me to use a solar battery charger plugged into my cig lighter?
The charger instructions say it only works on always on cigarette lighters.

 

I believe so. Since the outlet will now be "always on"

 

Any way to do this on a 5th gen?

 

Yes, its exactly like this. Just need to find your relay and modify as shown here.

 

Thank god I found this forum! Just checking in to make sure no one has any reported electrical issues since this post was hot?!

Also - any recommendations on the non-conductive material to use? It may have been quoted earlier in the thread and missed by me.

Thanks Ramon, et al in advance!!

 

no issues , I even leave the phone charger plugged in for days. no problems

 

Thanks dude!! Well done!!

 

I have a 2005 Sport V8 4Runner. My underhood fuse/ Relay box does not look like the one shown also it does not have the Power Outlet Relay. Where would this relay be located?

Thank You

Great mod and looks easy. Only problem is I can't find the relay on my 2015 SR5....help.

 

Best to ask in the proper area. This is for 3rd gen 4Runners.

 

My bad.
