The Power Port Is Now Constant...

[surfcitylocal]

I really hate having a power port (cigarette lighter) that only powers up with the ignition in the ACC or ON position. I changed that situation today on the iQ. I cut the lead to the power port, spliced a new wire lead and ran it to a constant power source under the dash. I added a 7 amp in-line fuse as well. Easy to do and now I can charge my cell phone without having the key in the ACC position.

Here are some pictures of how to do it...

On my RAV4, I unplugged the PWR relay and soldered a jumper wire across the contacts. Replaced the relay and now 2 of my 3 power ports provide constant power. I left the front port switched:

Cool way to do it. We only get one port in the iQ.

In my peugeot 406. The fuse for the power socket has 2 positions You can choose to to have switched or prmenant depending which slots you fit the fuse
