    What wires come out of the -12V power inverter?

    I'm looking for 12V wires that are only alive when the inverter is active.

    Where is the DC to DC inverter physically located?

    It is inside the main inverter assembly. Hobbit has some photos of it torn down. Scroll about midway down to see the DC to DC part of the inverter.
