Full Time Power Outlet Mod
By Jalaber

Parts Needed
2 spade 'crimp type' solderless terminals
3" legnth of 14ga. wire
Power Outlet Schematic
My 1999 Toyota 4Runner comes standard with two front and one cargo area 12V auxiliary power points in addition to the front mounted 12V cigarette lighter. All the auxiliary power points only have power when the ignition key is either in the on or accessory position. For various reasons a person may want to have power available at any of these points regardless of key position, for example when the vehicle is off. This modification accomplishes that.




First remove the power outlet relay located under the hood in the main fuse box area by pulling it straight out firmly.



Take a 3 inch piece of 14 gauge wire and crimp on a spade solderless terminal to each end.



Insert one of the spade ends into the power outlet relay socket #3 and the other end to socket #5 as seen on the power outlet schematic.


#3 and #5 are the only places a standard spade soderless terminal will fit, so you won't have any trouble identifying where to insert the jumper wire. Now with the key off test that the power points have 12V power.
