Leave it to puppy boner to put a dick on his truck the first chance he gets.... Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Yeah even though it worked perfectly on the 04 for whatever reason. Oh well, my buddy wired everything up pretty legit. Just gotta mount the switch a little better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
As always you're the electronics expert. I'm sure you're right, the draw from a trigger wire wouldn't be enough to kill the reverse circuit. However, most people I know don't run reverse pods off of a relay, they tap straight into the reverse harness. I personally did it that way on two different GMs with no long term issues. It doesn't take much to kill the reverse lights on the 09+ Fords though. This little guy sure does it.
I'd say a Hella relay trigger to the reverse lamp wire and contact 30 of the relay to fused 12 volt battery source in the trailer harness or if that isn't available run a fused power wire back there for aux. lighting. The switch gives on/off capability even without reverse gear engagement. There we go again, most don't want the cost or labor involved with running extra wires/relay/fuse. If it's electrical we'll just leave all those wires alone. They aren't paying someone else at a hole in the wall stereo chop shop to mess it up with 110 volt twist nuts and 3 rolls of cheap black tape.
I'd say so, now I don't have to use my brake lights for output when I back up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
