Tessco only lists 'list' unless you have an account.

Need to log in, probably won't get best pricing if you don't order a lot. These were around $50, more basic ones were around $30 link I don't have the distributor list that I used, readily available. I do remember Tessco and Lund Industries though.

I didn't look, TBH. It's not high up on my priority list, being unemployed and all. Check Ebay. :D

either none, for the good ones,unless activated, to a couple ma for crappy ones.

touché I'll see if I can find a link. Most timers I buy are more elaborate and in the 60$ range... basic ones I've seen as low as 10$, but wouldn't trust them to mission critical applications.

The 3$ relay will become $20 with the purchase of the appropriate connectors/mounts/etc. I assume that not everyone has a shed full of electronic parts/components. ;) You can always set the timer to x hours.. :D... and reset it with a quick on/off cycle of the ignition, or, flip a switch to...

Heh. A timer is no more complicated than a relay, and not prohibitively expensive. So there is no reason to use a just a switch and a relay, and plenty of reasons not to. So yes, I see it as cutting corners. But, as I said, don't let me tell you what to do with your vehicle, it's yours to do...

It's on a flat surface, just behind the valley. All are either my vehicles (which is why you see a lot of the same equipment), or my demo cars (when I had a company).

Doesn't matter how mindful you are. You WILL forget to turn it off one day, you WILL come out to a dead truck, and you WILL need to buy new batteries. I don't need to go into what deep discharging a starter battery does, do I? 8-) $20 for a switch/relay, or $30 for a timer... The answer is...

Simpler, yes. proper, no. Not when you don't have an ACCY position. :D Leaving the ignition on, without running the engine, just to use a radio, isn't a good practice. Do it right the first time.

There are timers that are available, fairly inexpensive, that will turn on/off your electronics, after a set period of time. ON with ignition, and stay on for (2/10/15/30,etc) mins after you turn the vehicle off. Most of them have a 30A output and 2-3 10A outputs. Last one I picked up was...
