Has anyone rewired the cigarette lighter to have power with the key off also?

 

Somewhere around here is my thread on how I modded mine. It's easy - about $15 and 15 minutes.

I'll see if I can find it. I hate to type all that again...........

 

THis is asinine. I know we were discussing the lighter one day and I chimed in that you could modify the power feed and have your lighter and glove box light (they are wired to the same fuse) hot all the time. I've modded all three Crossfires Iv'e owned and modded several other cars at our local tech days.

Here is my photo album about the mod. I wrote the procedure out but cant find it...

You tie two fuse holders together and "jump" battery power from a fuse that is hot all the time to the fuse that powers the lighter/glove box light. In order to not backfeed power to other circuits, you cut off one lead of the fuseholder that goes in the "Glove Box/Lighter" fuse position.

The write up is five years old, my laptop drive quit about four years ago and I'm sure the writeup was lost. BUT, it's also in a thread here SOMEWHERE....

 

The thread is called "Key in the ignition for the glove box lamp to work "....

 

Thank you,
I searched before asking, but, no results.
