    I do believe that I have everything figured out, with the info on TW, on what is needed and the how-to, to install an always hot power outlet to the rear of the bed.

    Now, for the interior outlet and possibly the USB. For the cig outlet, I want to cut the wire and save it for some other mod. Then connect an always hot wire to the cig outlet.

    Does anyone have a wire diagram or wire color for the existing outlet wiring ?

    Don't cut it, just unplug the harness and put spade connectors on your power and ground wires. Center pin is hot and outer shell is ground. Be sure to fuse it.

    I have been trying to figure out how to get to it. It doesn’t seem reachable from firewall side. I always feel that the plastic is going to break. So that’s where the wire cutting idea comes from

    After watching some videos, the wire might be accessible if the glove box is removed. Crummy videos.

    Also, it looks like I will have to bend a spackle knife in order to get to the tabs holding the air bag.
