Default 12V switched source

Guys,

I have a '15 Platinum 3.5 EB. Looking for a 12V key switched source.

- Tested 12V plug next to inverter (it's constant 12)
- Tested power inverter, there is a 3V key switch but I think that's for the LED next to the 110V plug

Have a micro2 add a circuit from amazon. Just would not fit in the interior fuse slots (too thick). Also all the fuses I probed in the box was 12V constant.

LCD and heater controls, all the wires were very thin gauged.

Already searched the forum.

Thanks!

Checked the larger gauge wires at the Sony Amp as well. Found 2 - 12V constant but no switched. Also checked the trailer 7 pin "+" terminal. No power there, but also read that the 12V will only have power when the truck "detects" a trailer. I tested with a multimeter.

All the outlets will switch off after awhile. I know because I need them to stay on longer.

Thanks MGD. I'll try to have another go today on 38. I also read 23 works as well. I filed down my add a circuit last night. Hopefully it will fit now. Was too thick. I have the Lumision one from Amazon.
