cigarette lighter with ignition?
#1
Hi, I want my cigarette lighter to go on/off with the ignition (so I dont have to unplug and put away whatever is plugged in all the time). whats the best way to do this? use the switched live from the stereo or some other method?

It should turn off with the ignition. Iirc a fuse moved does this
Also has the wires on the back of it been played with? Someone may have mixed up constant live with sign live

as 4way said, go in the fusebox and there's a couple of fuses with 3 slots instead of the usual 2, shift the fuse down a slot and that should do it . .Smile

My cigarrette lighter didnt work for ages. Then i realised the innards of the sat nav plug had fallen out in the footwell and i was just putting a plastic casing in the cigarette lighter!

different fuse for the HU to the cig lighter IIRC phill but they can both be either switched with the ignition or on constantly by moving the jumper fuses in the fuse box as said Smile
