I'm pretty sure that it doesn't work that way. You will most likely have to take constant power from an unused fuse location and use switched power to a relay to get what you really want.

If you are asking this, you probably cannot do this work yourself. This is not something that you should be attempting at all. These outlets are fairly high amp rated and you risk causing a wiring...

If could get a bit ugly to try to wire things differently, the easiest way to do that would be done primarily from the fuse box. You might not be able to put the cover back on when you were done. ...

Right, he did say they just bought it, I think most of us are assuming its brand new. I think your chargegard solution is exactly what he needs if the factory does not include a feature like this...

The charge guard is the easiest way to do this.
The best way to do this without the charge guard would require an assortment of wire, fuses (different types), and a relay. You made it fairly...
