View Full Version : cigar lighter/12v outlet
does anyone know how to make those power outlets acc or ignition switched?
i noticed that those outlets are always powerd.
i use fm transmitter for ipod and i want it to be turned off as i turned off the key.
i really dont like to pull it off every time i get out the car and put it back on evry time i get in.
if i have to rewire to feed acc power to the outlet curcuit, where is the best spot to do it so i dont have to rewire all 6 outlets?

You can switch the source for all accessory ports to a fused IGN tripped relay or solenoid which controls a hot lead off the battery. Here is the factory schematic.
