Marker lights are powered through tow vehicle.
I was just gonna say the same thing! Having built several utility trailers and all wired this way(powered from tow vehicle). I have not seen one with independent power on trailer for marker lights. Personally I prefer towing with "rear view" camera on all the time anyway. Pulling power from marker lights works well and keeps you camera from being on 24/7.

You say low voltage as in 12.7Vdc or you are seeing trace voltage? Is the camera still powered on like that? I doubt there is a capacitor in the 12Vdc circuit and if there was it wouldn't stay charged that it would power the camera. The ones you are thinking of are 120Vac meant for starting and running the Compressor and fan. You need to find what is powered up still with the disconnect in the open position (everything off ).

Thanks for the reply Wicked ace. You were right about trace voltage, no issue. I was able to move camera power supply from trailer 12 volt circuit, to running lights, supplied from truck, works great. Contacted GD and now was told some trailers were wired to constant power, sometimes through an exhaust fan power source. Mind was powered through Living A/C 12 volt circuit, which powers A/C thermostat and some lights, not my preference. I believe I have identified all parasites and will switch ones I want to turn off. Only question now is, where is Happy Jack powered from? GD assured me it was fused. After repeatedly telling them it was not fused through panel. With all 15 amp fuses pulled, it still operates. Then was told it was fused under A frame in the front. Well it’s not. No fuses under A frame but emergency brake. So my question is where is it powered from? Only place I haven’t looked, that is open, is under the sink. I will have my tech try to run it down. Any thoughts?
Thanks
