So I am hooking up some lights on my bed rack to use when we are camping. However I am having issues finding constant 12v power going to the bed. I thought I scored when I saw the trailer hitch had a 12v source but it turns out that it's only on when the truck is running or in accessory mode.
My question is, has anyone found a way to make the 12v source on the trailer hitch constant via Forscan?
If not, what are you all doing to get constant 12v to the bed?
I am not worried about draining the battery, the lights will be on a switch and if I need to run them for an extended amount of time then I will use an SAE plug to connect the switch to a portable 12v battery bank rather than the truck's battery. I just don't want to have the truck in accessory mode whenever I use the lights.
