Abstract:
An electrical system for providing power to an accessory in a vehicle is provided. The electrical system includes a power source, a relay coupled to the power source, an accessory socket coupled to the relay, and a switch coupled to the relay and disposed at least partially within the accessory socket. The accessory socket is configured such that the switch is in a closed state when an accessory is coupled to the accessory socket and the switch is in an open state when the accessory is not coupled to the accessory socket. When the switch is in the closed state, the relay consumes power from the power source and when the switch is in the open state, the relay does not consume power from the power source.
