Is there any way to have the on-board outlets on all the time? i am having to turn them on every time I turn the vehicle on.

not sure what you mean by 'having to turn them on every time I turn on the truck", if you're referring to ProPower 'cab' outlets, as these are always turned on when I activate my truck - maybe there is a 'setting' that tells the truck to always automatically activate ProPower to ON, when the truck is turned on.

2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash (+9.6kW PPO, Max Tow)
Cab PPO is on by default while vehicle is on.
Frunk PPO is off by default while vehicle is on.
Bed PPO is off by default when vehicle is on.

All the above reset to default values as soon as the vehicle is powered off unless "keep PPO on when vehicle is off" is enabled (2024+). This setting is off by default. This resets to default on next power-on (effectively making it a single use default override to allow settings to persist while off).

Cab PPO will always be on as soon as you power on the vehicle by default, there's no way to override it.

My 2024 flash shuts off after 6 minutes even though I have set the PPO on when vehicle is off”. Any ideas

The truck also has a "Vehicle Power Down Timer" setting because Ford really really really doesn't want its customers using PPO, probably because they know a warranty repair from actual use is going to be expensive AF.

Should be buried somewhere in vehicle settings.
