Does anyone know how long the rear 12 volt port stays on after the engine has been turned off?

Should shut off immediately. My ‘18 F150 12volt doesn’t stay hot and neither do my USB ports once I shut it off and exit.

I posted this a while ago - I think it stays on for some time after the vehicle is off, but can't be bothered to read through the entire thread again lol. And I don't have my Bronco yet, sorry.

Thanks not sure why that did come up in my search ... answer is apparently 30 minutes

Put a lighted wreath on the back for Christmas 5v led's on a 12volt car adapter

It’s around 30 min. I have a fridge running off of it, and I can open the tailgate and well tailgate I’ve never timed it, but it’s around that I would say.

"we found that the 12V power source in the rear of the Bronco will stay powered after vehicle shut off for 1 hour, and the factory rear light will stay on for 10 minutes."

The presenter in this video talks about it at the 10:20 point.

There is an option in FORScan to update PowerPoint to a maximum of 18 hours.

However it is unknown if this setting has any affect on the cargo area 12v outlet.

And do we know the Bronco will be smart about it, and turn it off if the battery gets too low? Or will it leave it on for 18 hours even if it kills the battery?

Was able to disable the PowerPoint timeout with Forscan instead of adjusting the time.
Now my Dometic fridge stays on as long as it's plugged in.

I've actually got used to the timeout and use it to my advantage. With my fridge plug into a power station and the power station plugged into the Bronco, it's actually working out really well. Power station stays charged up while the Broncos running and for the X minutes after the Bronco has been turned off.. fridge stays running whenever I need it without any sort of power interruption because of swapping plugs.

I'd prefer it to always be live, but 18 hours would be great, thanks. If anyone has a link to how to do this, please advise.

Using Forscan, change PowerPoint from enabled to disabled. Then it will stay hot.

There are 2 options to select in Forscan regarding timeout. Above the one for the actual time, you can enable/disable.
