Rain stopped, out to truck and sadly #4 & #1 are HOT, so there is power to the Trailer Connection with Truck off.
I was hoping with all the Software in these 2017 Chev Silverados that it would be off when the truck was off or....maybe I have not found the software to turn it off....don't think so though.
Guess I will continue to disconnect when in unserviced areas overnight.
One more question if I may, I see space for a second battery, I wonder if it would be a good idea to put one in.
I know there are ups & downs to this as in my former Diesel I needed two but one went bad once and pretty well ruined the other.
Upside is you have lots of power for what ever, anyone put two batterys in a 6.2 Gas Engine in a Chevrolet Silverado?
#4= 12 Volt Battery Power (Position 1 O'clock)
#1= Ground (Position 7 O'clock)
2017 Chev LTZ Silverado HOT ACROSS #4 / #1 WHEN TRUCK IS SHUT OFF
I think you have helped answer or solve the trailer power issue. Based on your comments, I believe that Chevy gassers with dual batteries have the trailer plug set up so that it does NOT apply power to the trailer with the engine off or they isolate the starting battery and they use a relay to do this. I'd stop by a dealer and see if they can either install the dual battery option, or tell you how to do it.
