[Elecraft] OT: 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 power outlets

[Edward R Cole]

Sorry, I own a 2015 Ford F250, but ...

It came with four factory-mounted lever switches on the dash (which 
illuminate when power is applied).  Three were rated at 20A and 4th 
was higher.  I did have to connect the wiring from the switches using 
the service manual which I downloaded from Ford site.  In my case all 
power is controlled by ignition via relays built-into the truck 
(which I figured would save me from dead batteries).

For my main 14.2v (engine running) power I ran two No. 8 insulated 
wires via a 40A relay which supplies the radios and amps at a 
terminal strip under the back seat.  One of the dash switches 
controls that main power relay.  I also have a Garmin GPSMAP on the 
dash and the KX3 controlled by other two dash switches.  KX3 remotely 
controls the rear seat installed KXPA100.

On the 5500 mile R/T to Seattle in May/June I noted no RFI to/from 
the truck electronics (we picked up the trailer in Seattle).
