I can not find a switched/ Key on/accessory 12v source to save my life at the rear end of the truck. It's 2011 F250 6.7L BTW. Everyone says the 7 pin is only active with the key on. I can tell you for a fact that mine is ALWAYS hot. I left the truck overnight and came out and checked the 7-pin and it was still hot. Is something wrong with my truck, a relay stuck closed? I ask cause everyone swears the 7 pin on works with the key in the ignition. All that being said, does anyone know of any other switched/Key On(accessory) 12v sources at the rear of the truck?

Ok, thank for the input. I opened the distro box under the hood and found the relay was gone and a jumper wire installed. Anyone know if the relay is the same as the one in slot 101? (8t2t-14b192-aa) If so a cheaper source like autozone/advanced,oreillys?

FWIW. I used the ignition hot wire in the under dash wire loom to run through a relay and fuse box. I have fuses key on hot power running everywhere I need.
