Finding power behind coin holder?

[billyfw]

I meant the 12v cigarette lighter port. Tap tap and you're good to go.

I've been searching for a way to remove the 12V panel, but I haven't found one online. Any idea? I'm pretty nervous to break it -- tried a pry tool a bit but it really doesn't seem like there's a seam I can get it into.

Did you ever complete your design?

Almost but not fully yet!

I've successfully found a 12v-USB converter and magsafe charge that work successfully with the harness behind the coin holder, and tested it. (Not all the converters work - some work but then fail when the truck is turned on/off).

I'm in the process of trying to design and 3d print a snap-in mount that will hold the magsafe holder. Hoping to be all set in the next month or two, so maybe check back then!

(PS - I also found the fuse for the trailer brake controller and replaced that...., since in the course of my tests I accidentally shorted power to ground.... Lucky there's nothing else on that fuse that I can tell!)
