Usually you have to have the key on the have power at the blue wire on 8600's. Honestly, it's not legal to disable the trailer ABS (and can cost you thousands in fines if caught).
What I would suggest is as follows: two of the 7 wires in your pigtail are for the marker/tail/clearance lights - the brown and the black wires. Tie these two together to the same post on the front of the trailer (at the back of the plug). Then take the interior panel behind the driver's seat loose or out to access the back of the tractor plug. Put whichever wire you're NOT using at the front of the trailer on a switch inside the cab. This makes the empty pin at the trailer on the switch - just wire the aux light back to that pin. Easy-peasy.
