To hard wire an accessory outlet in a vehicle, you would need to first identify a power source, such as the fuse box or directly from the battery. Next, you would need to connect the positive wire from the outlet to the power source and the negative wire to the vehicle's chassis for grounding. It is recommended to use appropriate wire gauges, fuses, and connectors to ensure safety and proper functionality.
a shorted out outlet can cause a backfeed on the white wire, an open circuit on the white wire with and electrical appliance plugged in to an outlet can cause the same type of backfeed
The wire should run above the outlet boxes. This is to ensure that the wire is easily accessible for future maintenance and repairs without having to dismantle the outlet boxes.
To wire two outlets together and continue the run to another outlet, you can connect the incoming hot wire to the brass-colored terminal on the first outlet, then connect a short jumper wire from the first outlet's silver-colored terminal to the brass-colored terminal on the second outlet. Finally, connect the incoming neutral wire to the silver-colored terminal on the first outlet and repeat the process for subsequent outlets in the circuit.
Yes, you can wire a switch downstream from an outlet by connecting the switch to the hot wire (black) from the outlet. The hot wire would then be interrupted by the switch before continuing to the outlet, allowing you to control the power to the outlet with the switch. Always ensure to turn off the power before working on any electrical components.
No, it is not safe to have a wire hanging out of an outlet. If you have a four-wire connection but only a three-prong outlet, this could pose a safety hazard. You should have a qualified electrician properly install a matching outlet to avoid any risk of electrical shock or fire.
Unless your vehicle has a built in amplifier or your installing an aftermarket one then you can leave it off. A remote wire will turn on an audio accessory if you have one.
You don't.
When something is hard wired, it is wired directly to the house wire. No cord. You just install the smoke detector like you would a light fixture or an outlet.

No, that is not unsafe.
I assume you are hard wiring it and not plugging it in. The power coming into the GFCI outlet connects to the line side of the GFCI outlet. If you want the outdoor timer protected by the GFCI then connect the wire going to the timer to the load side of the outlet. If you do not want the timer protected then connect it to the line side. On the back of the GFCI if you look closely you will see Line & Load marked on the back.

Ground wire is loose or disconnected somewhere in that circuit.
You will need a receptacle that you can wire each outlet separately (not jumpered). You would then wire the switch in series on the line conductor with the outlet you want switchable. Wire the other outlet directly to the power source. You can jumper the neutral from one outlet to the other.
