Good luck.
I want the new circuit to turn off like the cigarette lighter when the key is off. Is there constant power going across the cigarette lighter fuse at all times or only when the key is on? If the fuse is turned off from the power when the key is off that would be great. I just don't know if the power is switched off after the fuse or before. The car is in storage so I can't to do any testing until warmer snowless surroundings. Thanks Ron
