I have a 2000 Explorer. I'd like to install a 12 volt power
outlet near the far rear, similar to a cigarette lighter
outlet. Is there already a source of 12 volts in that area,
not dependent on lights or rear wiper being on? Any ideas
appreciated.

Laptop is at work so I don't have diagrams handy... if you have trailer
package, there should be a "hot in run" at the very least for charging the
trailer battery. For a hot at all times, there is probably a relay in the
battery junction box that can be removed and a shorting device installed
(remember to replace the relay if you pull a trailer with an on board
battery).
