12V in-cab aux power MISSING???
I finally got around to hanging Christmas lights in my '15. I knew the 110V outlet was only live when the engine was on, which isn't a problem because I have used an inverter in my '03 for the past 11 years successfully.
So, here is the problem I'm having. I can only find 2 power outlets (cig lighter type) and they both go dead when the engine is off. Am I missing an outlet somewhere? The '03 has one that is live all the time. If there isn't one, is there an easy place to connect a fused outlet?
Background; I have had Christmas lights in my '03 since '03. I have them hanging across the tops of both rear doors and around the rear window. They plug into my cheap Radio Shack inverter which in turn is plugged into an aux power outlet which is on all the time. I turn the the inverter on whenever parked at home or in a parking lot. Before I changed to LEDs the longest I had them on was 4 days, around the clock, before going out and starting the truck (with no problems).
I'd like to light the lights in my '15. Any help/suggestion is appreciated.

My 2011 has 3 outlets not including the inverter. 2 of the outlets are on the ign and the third hot all the time. The hot one is inside the flip up center arm rest, the other 2 are rear seat area in the rear of the center console and center console up front close to the dash.
