Isolating a Roof Plug

Has anyone been able to isolate one of the 3 roof line plugs that are on the Ext 3 circuit? I’m looking to power extra lights or a starlink mini that I’d rather keep separate from my scene lights and not route have to run more wires though the roofline.

My only guess is wiring in something like a Garmin power switch from where the EXT 3 roof plugs are sourced, but not sure if I’m this chasing potential use case down correctly.

Any ideas?

Interetesed in isolating the EXT 3 plugs as well. All I can add is that removing the grab handle panel allows limited access to to an internal Deutch connector, in the harness to the external connector. You could run a new supply wire without having to create a new roof penetration (re-purposing the external Deutsch).
 
I added external waterproof inline switches to the 2 rear roof outlets - effectively gives me 2 circuits that I can operate separately or together (all current warning & camp lights are under the 10A limit should I ever need them at the same time).

I usually have the rear warning light switch set on & the camp lights off so I can activate the warning lights if needed from the overhead switch.

I still have the front outlet available for ???? !
