Cheers

It shouldn't be that difficult. All my lights(well, only two now) are wired hot all the time. Most newer vehicles have at least one "fag" lighter wired hot all the time straight to the battery.

Yes Stu, I was attempting to add a little humor in my request for information, being it has been so long since I have dong any real posting on this forum I had forgotten about the overwhelming sensitivities of those who spend time on here.
I am looking for a 12v constant power source without having to run additional wiring.

I installed a small fuse panel behind the center console switch panel and wired my lighter to always be hot.

Thanks i will look at that, I will also explore the relay jump. i know on my Tacoma all I did was remove the realy, put a jumper across to poles and the lighter was hot all the time.
The Lighter Socket is controlled by the Accessory Relay, which plugs into C282, in the Driver's footwell -
To make it's circuits permanently live, you need to remove the Relay from C282 and jumper between terminals 30 and 87 -
However, if you do this, you will also make permanently live, all the circuits protected by F3 and F6 in the under-facia fuse box -
These are the circuits for F3 -
And these are the circuits for F6 -
A better solution for making the Lighter Socket permanently live, would be to run a new fused supply directly from the battery.

Hey you have that extra brake pedal on the left like I do.
That's why I said "separate" relay, meaning one dedicated to the lighter.PaulMc0308 said:
Which is what I did in mine.
