Re: Ask DS truck bed lights
Hey that just made me think of something. Does anyone know if the cargo light has its own fuse? You could probably tap into that and use the switch on your dashboard. Or tap into that wire?

Re: Ask DS truck bed lights
Ok, got everything I need. Went out tonight to check my 7 way plug for constant power, 2014 F150. Even with lights on I got nothing according to my multi-meter. I looked through the owners manual at fuse schematic. There are several fuses for that plug, left turn, right turn etc. but not one specific to the hot wire. What am I missing?

On my 2011 F150, my 7way did not come from the factory ready to use. In the glove box was a relay that had to be inserted in the fuse panel under the hood. Why Ford does this I have no idea but it seems to be constant. I can't remember the relay port number but if you Google it you'll find a ton of info regarding this. It's how I found out. Also, there is a F150 iPhone app that comes in pretty handy.. it's basically a forum that owners post questions to and readers answer.
You will have a 12v lead (constant hot) to the 7way, you can use a test light with a ground or multimeter to find it.
Hope this helps.

Re: Ask DS truck bed lights
My understanding is that it's only needed in the Ford if using with trailer brake. but like deadeye I installed mine back when i got it.

Re: Ask DS truck bed lights
Oh yeah, I dig it. Looks great. Gonna do the same thing.
So did you wire it directly to your hot on the 7way and did you put it a switch?
