Rear Power Port Info Requested

[Happy]

Do you know the size of wire or the amp rating of the rear cargo right hand side 12 volt power port....I would call it a cigerette lighter.

The Bronco Equipment Installation Guide shows the right hand Quarter panel wire to be 1.5 mm non powered white and orange wire ( that is approx 15 gauge) but I see nothing about the power port rating.

20amp and i believe its using one of the auxiliary power fuses under the hood at positions 32, 33, or 34.

Is that from the owners manual?

Yes, p146. "outlet" was the magical search term in the PDF.

Still not clear to me- Is it only powered on accessory/key on or is it hot all the time.

I prefer the hot all the time for my fridge..

I'm wondering about those two bullet points at the end. I plugged a small inverter into mine to power a couple strings of LED Christmas lights on my wreath-wrapped spare tire during the holidays. I never un-plugged it. It would come on when I started the vehicle, and automatically power-off a while after shutting off the vehicle. I'd just let the lights glow in the parking lot until then. But they would shut off after like 15 minutes or so, and it never drained the battery over night. Not sure how that squares with the points above.

Agreed, I have an LED strip in the rear utilizing it and it powers down. I believe I read somewhere its limited to 3 hours ~30 mins, certainly some missing documentation on this matter in the manual.

Thank you IDyeti. Finding the right search term is the key.

Neither.

The power outlets all stay on roughly 30 minutes after the truck turns off.. but the timing is variable. Could be 10 minutes, could be 45.

Is it possible to use Forscan to allow to stay on all the time?

That I'm not sure of.

It stays on until the Bronco finishes "final shutdown", along with all of the other accessory power outlets. That time seems to vary. Not even sure where to look to change that..

There is one of the several aux wires that run to the same area, but the aux power turns off with the vehicle as well.
