I'm going to be installing a second battery in my 1997 K1500 so I can install a 12v receptacle in the rear bumper for my boat trailer's winch. Thanks to the info on this site, it looks like I'll be able to do that without a problem!
Now for the question: How do I power my radio and the cigarette lighter ports off of the second battery? Do I run a wire to a new fuse box of my own and connect things up there? Or should I be looking to connect the in-cab fuse box to the second battery and just have everything inside the truck run of the second battery when the engine is off and the isolator is open?
Thanks for any direction and clarification!
