How to disable 12v outlets when truck is off?

[derekjl]

Is there a way to do this? I have several accessories I plug in to the 12v outlets in the dash, but unlike my other cars the power is not cut when the truck is off. I figured someone has found a way around this? Thanks.

You'd have rewire the sockets for RAP (Retained Accessory Power) this is a common in all new GM vehicles. Here is a link where you should be able to add this to your truck pretty easy.

I made a small harness that plugs into the RAP port and has two 12V sockets on it. I ran the power lines from the dash mounted GSP and Cell Phone cradles behind the dash into those sockets. That way when I turn off the ignition they both power off. It also took the clutter off of my dash and console sockets and cleaned up the entire dash.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Where is the RAP port located?

It's behind a plastic cover on the left hand side of the driver's foot well. Right behind the bottom of the swing of the emergency brake pedal.
