All of us that buy American made vehicles have faced this problem. American made automobiles from GM, Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, do not have ignition controlled 12V power ports. So, if you leave something plugged into your power socket on your car or truck, like a dashcam, it will continue to draw power even when the vehicle is not running. This may lead to a dead battery in the morning when you go to start your car.
This guide is to show you how to convert one of your car or trucks 12-volt power socket into an ignition controlled outlet that will turn on and off with your ignition so that you do not worry about leaving something plugged in and killing your car's battery.
The instructions in this video are for a Chevy Silverado Pickup, but this method will work on just about any American made automobile.
Step 1:
Locate a fuse in the engine compartment fuse box that is controlled by the ignition switch. This step may require two people to perform. Test each fuse separately using a 12-volt tester (see link above) while turning the ignition on and off to locate a 15 amp or above fuse that turns on and off with the ignition.
Step 2:
Using the appropriate fuse jumper (see link above), replace the existing fuse with the fuse jumper to create an additional power circuit.
Step 3: Using automotive-grade 16-gauge red wire (see link above) make a connection to the fuse jumper in the engine compartment fuse box and route the wire through the firewall to the interior of the vehicle to the existing 12V power socket you wish to convert to an ignition controlled.
Step 4: Test the existing 12V socket with the DC voltage tester light to determine which wire is the positive wire. Cut the positive wire with wire cutters leave a couple inches of wire to make the connection to the new ignition controlled wire lead from engine compartment.
Step 5: Using a wire stripping and a crimping tool (see link above), strip about 1/4 inch of the plastic insulation from the ends of both the wire from the existing 12V socket and the wire from the fuse box. Now connect the two with an in-line 16 gauge wire connector and crimp both ends with the crimping tool.
