2016 Ford F150 12V Receptacle Timing Out
I'm towing a 2016 Ford F150 for the first time. First time I checked my Brake Buddy, it was off. Reset everything and same thing happened when I checked it again, discovered the all 3 12V receptacles ...

Just returned from my trip with a whole lot of knowledge on the Ford F150 electrical system. According to Ford, all 3 of the receptacles time out after 13 minutes. I stopped at two different dealers on my trip and neither knew that the receptacles timed out. Finally one of them contacted Ford. I then took J-D's advice and contacted Brake Buddy. They sent me the same fused wiring kit to the campground I was staying free of charge. I connected it directly to the battery terminals and just ran the cord through the door molding until I could get home and make it a permanent installation. Ford advised against converting one of the computer controlled receptacles to a direct battery connect. The new F150s are a great tow vehicle.
