remote aux 12 v add on?

hey guys, i just had a remote start hooked up to my truck today, and with it is the option to have the trunk release. being that i have a truck there is no trunk to pop open, soi had the guy leave me the aux wire hanging long, and taped off the end. he also installed a 40 amp relay to it so i could use it for pretty much anything.

i now have to decide what i should use it for if anything at all.

the only think is i'm pretty sure it will only be powered on while i am holding the button.

any cool ideas? i was thinking oill slick, or smoke screen.... haha

 

Bed lights or powered locking tailgate?

 

I'd like to do this so much. There's a write up somewhere about installing a lock inside the tailgate; I was looking at it the other week. Only I would just going to wire it to the passenger door unlock circuit; that way a simple double-tab of the key fob would unlock it, and every time I locked the truck would ensure that the tailgate was locked too.

Are you sure the output isn't just a momentary thing no matter how long you hold the button? Just because you hold the button down doesn't mean it's going to keep triggering the output.

 

im thinking you are probably right about it being a momentary switch.

i'll have to check it out today
