I have a new 2022 Trailhawk. Does anyone know:
How can I leave Accessory position powered while towing Trailhawk? I have Trailhawk wired so battery is being charged by tow vehicle while underway, but I need power from 12 volt outlet for Blue Ox Patriot 2 braking system. Can I leave spre key fob in car to override auto shutdown of accessory power?

This system just needs to plug into an always-on power accessory socket?

Is the socket in your center console on full-time? It is on my 2014. The key symbol next to the socket indicates switched with ignition. A battery symbol indicates always powered.
The socket in the cargo area can be changed between always-on, or ignition-only. See the owners manual for which fuse to move.

I am aware of option to change rear outlet; I would prefer to use center console outlet. That one requires Accessory or Run position. Is there a way to maintain power to center console receptacle and avoid auto shutdown of power to Accessories?
Thanks

 

I assume the 2022 doesn't have the always-on outlet in the center compartment like the 2014 does. I don't believe there is a way to change the timeout so accessory power stays on. There is no easy way to make it always-on without some creative re-wiring. For example, swapping the wires for the rear and front outlets at the fusebox and swapping the fuses as described in the owners manual.

Either use the rear outlet, or add another outlet/connector fed from the battery with an appropriate fuse.

 

Thank you for your input; I’ll run another outlet to dash area directly from battery. Btw, my battery in the Trailhawk is being charged from my tow vehicle while the Trailhawk is being towed.
