Question:
2019 Ford F150 How can I possibly get power to my 7 pin plug without connecting a trailer? I have a handicap lift that needs power to work and lights for just the tag. I cannot get it to power up

Hey James, the best way is to bypass it all by running a power wire from the positive post of the vehicle battery back to the 7-way 12 volt accessory pin instead of the factory wiring that is there currently. To do that you would want 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot and a breaker to install inline with this circuit with the part # 9510.
