Hi all. I have a 2019 Ranger Lariat. I’ve had it since last February. One thing that bugs me is that when you turn off the ignition, the USB ports lose power. I know why Ford did this, but I can’t imagine any electronics that you would plug in would take enough power to kill the battery after a few days. My F150 had USB ports that stayed hot all the time. Have any of you figured out how to bypass the ignition on the Ranger. I have looked at the box, but see no easy way to do this. As far as I know, there is no electrical schematic available from Ford? Any input would be appreciated. TIA, Jim

Best post in another area really.

But with Forscan just change the Power Point imeout in the BCM non asbuilt and see if it sorts it.

My USA Ranger does not shut off until you open the door. That's the norm. I would take it to the dealer if you don't Forscan yourself.
