The BCM and current sensor are powered and the battery fan should be live, and it keeps the SoC gauge accurate. That way I don't get a forced regen (wasted fuel) and a recalibration first thing in the morning.

I must not have read this the first time correctly. So it seems that if I run 12v power to the MCM pin A11, the fan will be powered. Therefore, I can disconnect my taps into the fan wire and connect it there instead.

So MCM pin A11 is where the positive of the 12v should be tapped into, which one should the negative be connected to (and what color is it)?

Thanks so much for your help. Your boat tail project is really coming together! I wish I would have been able to make it up there to see it - hope you're having a great time!
