I want to have constant 12v on my trailer for interior lights. Just wondering if there is a certain wiring circuit for power to a 7 pin trailer plug. I have seen that some cars come with the circuit from factory just add tour own fuse. Also if not which wire is constant power without the key in the ignition. I have a aux and elec brake wire free on my plug are any of these constant 12v? Cheers paul.

the aux socket (#2) on your plug is where your 12v feed will go.
as for power source, usually there is just a 6mm fused wire running direct from your battery to the tow plug. you can also run it through a relay, so you only have 12v power to the rear when the ignition is on.

Hi Paul
If its the factory wiring harness it wont even have reverse at the connector.
I ran a new feed direct from the battery via a fuse.
There is a factory harness running down the chassis rail on the drivers side of the truck ( mines an 07 STX) so I just put the run in split conduit and cable tied it to the harness.

Yeah shouldnt be an issue.As long as the other trailers are wired correctly there wont be anything connected on the trailer end to connect to the constant 12v pin on the truck
My personal preference would be to forget the 7-pin plug, put an Anderson plug/socket to use and that way if you're towing something else you don't risk blowing up their electrics.
