Re: No power to 12V constant pin
[ QUOTE ]
Jeff,
Just remember that the reason that I replaced the relay with the jumper was to get 12V to the pin when the key is off. As Tobi mentioned above, the pin will be hot only with the key on if you install the relay. I pull a trailer for our local high school marching band too and it's nice to be able to use the lights without having to have the key on. Just so you know...

Thanks, Dan.
Yeah, I've got this thread saved, for future use. I wanted to go ahead and get the relay because I've been looking at a breakaway setup that will charge off that lead. I figure it makes sense to have the relay if it keeps power from feeding back to the truck and causing issues. We're also looking into travel trailer, so I may want the relay for that, too.
What I'm thinking I'm going to play with, given the info you provided, is an override switch that will feed power to the relay when the key is off. That way I get the best of both worlds.
We've got our last contest this weekend, so I'll live with having the key on this time. I've got the winter and spring to figure out the rest.
Thanks again,
Jeff
