Hybrid constant power with ignition off either under the hood or near aux switches.

[mfoga]

I am curious if anyone has found constant power while the ignition is off on the hybrid under the hood or near the aux switches. I am looking to hook up the harbor freight rock lights that are 4.4w x2 to run off a switch So they can be turned on while ignition is off. The two small light on either side mounter to rack and would just provide some light to get tent setup and things like that when showing up at night (20-30min) I don’t really want to run a wire all the way from battery if I don’t have to such a small draw. Currently they are using of the aux switches but would be nice to not have keep car running to use them.

If you are using the auxiliary switch for power I THINK it will power with vehicle in ACC mode (engine not running).
Going to verify with my ditch lights tonight.

I know if I use Aux switch it is only with ignition. I was going to run a separate switch for them outside the 4 aux switches. I just ran it off aux for now to get them working.

Check this vid out Yota Xpedition just posted today. It’s pretty helpful.
