Constant 12V

[luciusl]

Is there a constant 12V from any of the cigarette lighters or anywhere, even when the ignition is off?

Look for this connector under the steering column or the clock connector in the center console.

What do you need to do to make it constant? Switch them?

 

[la_fx35]

Constant is direct from the battery = 12V supply even when the key is not on the ignition.

But there is no constant going directly to rear AUX or Cig lighters, right? What I am looking for is a way to charge my phone while the car is off.

^ that's why I am confused if there is a constant wire...what 12v is that going to?

 

[luciusl]

I think LA is saying that there is a constant 12V in the ignition loom, which I don't need. I wonder if I could rewire the cig lighter in the console to be constant 12V....

Oh my bad. I just re-read the post, you're looking for 12v constant cigarette lighter. You can rewire one of the existing cigarette lighter to the ignition loom. Be sure to use a fuse in the new wiring to the designated cigarette lighter port.

Thanks, La

I found a constant 12v in another vehicle via the fuse labeled "security". Not sure if fx has a similar one but maybe worth a shot.

That security wire should be a constant 12v source.
