Trailer wiring hook-up ?

Hey my brothers, I just got the wife a '08 250 King Ranch pkg truck and can't remember how to get the Aux 12v+ on the 7 way trailer plug hot without the key. It's hot on the 99 without. Any easy and or quick fix? I am adapting down to a 6 round if that matters.

Pics later.........thanks.

Possibly put a switch in the truck to trip the relay. I was going to do that, But not a priority on my list.

You Identify the relay. Run a wire hot wire to it and utilize a switch to power that wire. that wire will trip the relay manually. And you can switch it back for Auto.

Wish i had it sometimes.

That sounds like THE best option. On my 99 it is hot all the time. At any rate...me and the missus is off for a weekend trailride. I will investigate this further, later.

BTW Dan, Whats with the red X....did you not like the draft???? I feel NO and I mean NONE AT ALL, pity for you....as an Oiler fan.......I am still heart broken. But as a brother...nothing but love...

I haven't read up on what is going on with the bills.. ANGRY BOYCOTT you might say. Been so disappointed lately with the bills. Crossing my fingers this year. Need to get my butt in gear , read up and change my avatar to something that is more inspirational for the Bills. Bought a new bills windsock the other day for my flag at camp. If that will help the bills. Who did we get, Who did we get?
