Default AC Power

Are the outlets in the GX powered when the key is not in the ignition?

Thanks

The short and long answer is NO. The accessory must be turned to on.

I do miss being able to charge my phone overnight.

Me too, but haven't yet gotten around to making the mod.

Possible (Mine uses 4 "D" batteries - I don't get to park anywhere near where I need the air bed )There should be a wattage rating on the pump motor, although peak startup wattage could be higher.

Are you running it with the engine on?

yes. I think there's no power at all if engine off.

I installed the jumper wire in the attached link but after about a week both the cg lighter and the accessories port ceased to function. I checked the fuses and both are good does anyone know if an other inline relay may have been damaged? There is also a link on the page below that shows you how to make the AC outlet powered all the time too. Do at your own risk.
