Noticed that when the door is open the Inverter is powered off, unless you press the brake pedel then the inverter powers up again.

Is there a configuration setting, maybe via Forscan to leave the inverter powered up even when the door is open.

All started when I plugged a trouble light into the inverter, everything worked until I open the door.

That's a new one to me, thanks for posting the info.

No help here for changing it however.

 

A new one on me as well. Here's a pic of our truck's inverter powering a lamp with the engine running and the rear driver-side door open:

The plot thickens...

If I'm the driver seat, truck running, light on. (using 120v trouble light)

Open driver door, 5 sec latter - light off

Press brake peddle / door open - light on again (as long as I hold the pedal)

release pedal - light off

Close driver's door - light still off

Press brake pedal - light on and stays on

Reach back and open a rear door from the inside - light on and stays on.

I'm now wondering if some of the forscan changes are causing this behavior, like (police mode / secure idle). Just a thought.

do you have Lincoln style auto fold mirrors enabled? I don't have an answer for you but that modification works off the drivers door

 

OK, now you've done it.
This is going to bother me until a resolution is found.

I have difficulty letting go of this sort of thing, a personality defect I am constantly at battle with.

Reminds me of torturing my 2 boys 25 yrs ago when they were just kids. A couple of nights a week I would read a short story to them at bedtime from a book titled "100 Malicious Little Mysteries".

Each mystery story was just a few pages long and left the reader with the challenge of solving the mystery presented in the story. Rarely the boys solved the mystery right away. Other times I would let them think through the information, present possible solutions, then read them the actual solution in the back of the book.

If it had been a tough day at the office and I was in a particularly cantankerous mood I at times chose to make them wait until morning for the solution. On occasion they would creep downstairs after being put to bed begging for the answer. A great tool for stimulating logical thinking patterns for kids.

My personality defect has worsened with age, must be pay back for torturing the boys.

I have a King Ranch CCSB as yet without Forescan (that will change as soon as time allows). I'll run your tests and see what mine does.

 

OK, so I tried mine.

The only factor determining whether or not the inverter is on is whether or not the engine is running.

Engine on = inverter on
Engine off = inverter off

Full accessory mode = inverter off

Again, no Forescan on this truck yet, not sure if that is a factor either however.

 

I see FORScan is mentioned in this thread. As you likely know, using FORSCan you can enable the power plugs to stay on 24/7.
