120 volt plug on dash

[JoshNHRA]

2014 5500 SLT.

Does anyone know a way to make the 120volt plug on the dash stay on, with the key off. I use my 120 volt plug to keep my laptop charged, but its a pain in the ass that i need to leave the key on to keep it charging.

Any input or wiring diagrams would help. Thanks.

Wouldn't that kill your battery pretty quick?

Nope it wont. The laptop draws very little current. In my previous truck, i ran a 400W inverter all day without issue.

Shouldn't be too difficult a process, but I don't have any wiring diagrams, so no reply of mine will be simple. However, I would imagine some probing will a multi-meter would sort out a solution relatively quickly.

sorry not trying to hijack your thread. I have a 12V/800 W inverter and I know how much draw I can put on it but I have no idea how much draw is the in dash 120V plug meant to allow? Anyone know?

OEM plug is 150 watts.

If I remember correctly it also says on the outlet cover.

nothing on the outlet cover about output wattage. but thank you for the info 150 W isn't much power.

Hmm, must be an older RAM thing I guess.

must be. I wonder if they changed the labeling part on the newer RAMs I wonder if they changed the total output wattage as well? I wonder if that info is in the owners maunal

I wonder what the part number for the AC outlet is so I can add it to my Tradesman...

I guess you'd have to go to RAM for the part number.

I just read my last post for the first time I must have been off in wonderland when I worte that. Alot of "wonders" in the phrase

Sorry to anyone who read it.
