Adding 12V and USB power ports to the bed - installed photo

[Dangro]

If I remember correctly each side has a 12v line thats separately fused for 20 amps. I also think we get a pair of wiring pigtails that will connect to that plug.

Personally thinking of getting a marine grade 12v socket and installing it so its actually inside the storage cubby to run my little 12v air compressor.

That is one of the exact mods outline by Ford if you scan that QR code. They have a parts list and videos explaining the process.

Nice.

I don't have my Mav yet, so I haven't scanned the QR codes yo see what ideas they have.

Come to think of it someone here may have posted a pic of the code, I should look into that.

Lord knows I need more rabbit holes to go down while I wait on my Mav, lol.

The power parts are from amazon:


The wiring from the battery is from ARB:

I have changed your links from:

"[M-E-D-I-A=amazon]B08GY7TMQH[/MEDIA]"
and
"[M-E-D-I-A=amazon]B0742LV4JW[/MEDIA]"

to links that work by using the "Insert Link" feature on the menu bar. This forum makes any links to Amazon and other selling sites just blank fields.

I have had this "This forum isn't rendering links properly" problem also. The forum is putting links to amazon and other selling site with the [MEDIA] tag and what the result is a large blank area.

The solution is to use the "Insert Link" feature that looks like the broken chain in the tool bar.

It will ask for the url and a description.

Here is an example:

bayite DC 6.5-100V 0-100A LCD Display Digital Current Voltage Power Energy Meter Multimeter Ammeter Voltmeter with 100A Current Shunt

I had tried that and had trouble with it as well. Have to play around I guess. Thanks

I wanted to run my ARB fridge and had an extra wiring kit laying in the garage. I wanted it to be constant hot, so I ran from the battery to the panel where the 110 plug would be in the rear of the bed. I also found a 12V power port and dual USB port that are marine grade from another project. Tailgating just got a bit better.

wonder how much and where i can get this done at

You can do it yourself for about twenty bucks. Amazon carries those 12 v sockets and you just tap into the existing 12v accessory wires that are already there.

Here's one I'm getting for another project: Switch, voltage meter, usb and 12v socket. Drill a couple of holes in the plastic, tie in the wires and you're good to go.

I don't think it's the site formatting necessarily, but rather the preview it turns the links into gets killed if you're running any sort of ad-blocker.

If you install a USB charger port, be aware that it will draw current continuously if it is enabled. Over time that can discharge the battery, though it would take some time. Better to have it switched, IMO. tom

Here's mine. Just installed it today
