I need power ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m trying to get a cable that I can connect to this OE socket that will then be connected to separate 12v sourcev (leisure battery) on a 2018 T6 Shuttle conversion.

Am I completely barking up the wrong tree or can it be done?

Any help greatly appreciated as I would really love to do it or else it’s going to become a relatively expensive redundant ‘filler’ switch.

Many thanksIMG_4429.jpeg
 
Carefully saw around the green shroud expose the pins, solder and heat shrink the wire.
Perhaps!!!

Makes sense however how on earth do you find out which pin is the positive and negative? Equally there are 4 pins so not sure what the other 2 pins do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Is it not just straight through connections? A multimeter will identify which pins on the green plug are which on the USB?
 
Your leisure battery is 12V. Whatever you plug in to charge from this USB port is expecting 5v. In between you will need something like this. You will cut off the USB socket and wire it to the back of your port (with a connector like the eBay one up thread)

It’s the green connector that I need to attach it to the USB… My thought is if I get one of the cables you do kindly mentioned (one thread up) and then connect green end to the OE socket and the usb end to this 5v converter (which I can wire to the leave battery) that should then give me the stepped down power (at 2.0amps) at the OE socket.
 
Looks like you can pry the clips on the side and it’ll come apart- be interesting to see inside - maybe it has a built in 12-5v circuit!

Yes, that’s it.

Agreed - any idea how I’d know if it does indeed have the 12v-5v converter inside. I guess it’ll be a copper coil or the like?

No circuit but that makes it easier… will use a usb converter and get the power to the socket from there.
