Retraction
Oh boy! I've evidently screwed up again. For whatever reason, when I first plugged in my Refrigerator with the engine off there was no voltage. After reading some of the posts I went back for another try. Now the fridge is working with the engine and key (start button) off. Sorry if I started a thread that obviously was incorrect. Just hope it keeps working.
Well, after all the agonizing we finally bought a 2016 Explorer Platinum. Generally love it but there are a few changes or additions that are frustrating. I'll save that for later but right now I'm looking for a solution to a change Ford made to the Power Point behind the third row seats. For whatever reason they no longer provide continuous power to the plug. Our 2011 Limited had the power after the engine had been shut down.
What does Ford suppose the owner is doing with the Power Point? It's protected with a 20A fuse so I'd guess they don't expect it will be used to supply LEDs.
We have a compressor refrigerator that we have used for several years while traveling on long trips. We have never had a problem running the unit overnight as we stopped at hotels.
The change is a real disappointment. Is there a way to rewire or change the way the power is supplied to the rear Power Point?
