Jeff,

I replaced the relay with a jumper to get a constant 12 volt feed to the "+" terminal of the 7 pin plug. I made the jumper from a piece of heavy guage wire with spade terminals on each end. I used a test light to determine where to plug it in. I'd have to check to see which two terminals I plugged into. On my 2000, the trailer charge relay and trailer backup light relay are in a small box with a lid, right next to the main power distribution box under the hood. It's the relay toward the front of the truck. I would think your '01 would be the same but don't know for sure [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]. This is a pretty simple mod to get a constant 12V to the rear of the truck.
Hope this helps...

If you could check which terminals you jumped, I'd really appreciate it. I checked and the 'relay' is in the same place as where you describe (only the relay is not there). I'd like to get a relay at some point, but for now, jumping the terminals would work for what I need this coming weekend.

Thanks again,
Jeff

Jeff,

I have the info you requested. The jumper is between where terminals 87 and 30 of the relay would plug in. One is closest to the brake master cylinder and the other is closest to the Power Distribution Box. Does that make sense? Let me know if you need any more help...
