    Hello!
    I'm looking for a timer to turn off my scoop light after about 60 minutes in case I forget and leave it on (again). Does anyone know of something I can get off the shelf?

    There are Relays you can purchase that will power down a short time after shutting off the ignition.

    Oh look, another mod....
    You should just piggy back the wiring off the fog lights. That way it can be turned off manually via the control on the stick or automatically after you turn the truck off.

    Does it need to stay on after you turn the truck off?
    Or off when the truck is off, ok?

    If you tap into the blue wire that powers the cab illumination (7.5A) the Main Body ECU turns that circuit off 20 min after the vehicle is turned off. The timer resets anytime the vehicle is unlocked.
