I need some help please, We left on our trip towing our new JLU behind our RV and using the Blue Ox portable brake in our Jeep. The trouble is when we plug it into the cigarette lighter the power does not stay on for more then about 15 minutes, no matter what position The start button is in.
So how do I keep power to my brake that plugs into the cigarette lighter??
Really need a fix for this right away as we’re in the mountains

The rear one is always on. Otherwise you'd have to make some wiring changes, or get the thing @sourdough mentioned which is a little easier.

mine has always run through the power from the hot on the wiring connector, have you made sure you have hot at position 6?

Cooltech now makes an adapter that makes your front plug always on.
