I'm trying to find a 12v constant power source inside the cabin... any suggestions?

For low power applications. (100w or less)

You have several options. What are you trying to do with it?

If you don't need a lot of amps you can pull from the OEM dashcam plug above the dome light. Check out this thread for that.

You can also get a Dongar adapter to pull from the same place or from the powered mirror for a USB connection.

If you need more than a couple amps your only real option is to pull from a constant on fuse under the glovebox with a fuse tap.

100W is over 8 amps. I would do a fuse tap. I wouldn't pull more than 5A from any of the connectors I mentioned.

At the moment, I'm just trying to power the status light on some switches. So even when the truck is off I can still see the status light whenever I press the switch. But in the future I would like ambient lighting so the power will increase.
