Need full time power to "Cigaret lighter".

Use a multimeter to find a fuse thats powered on when ignition is off. Be careful not to drain the battery if you set this up.

Guess I'll have to go out and buy one. I'd hoped not to, if I could. Don't really need one for any thing else, but thanks.
The camarea that I want to keep on draws only a few milliamps so I think I'll be all right.

Highly recommend buying one. They are really cheap (you can get one for $20) and come in handy more often than you'd think. Lets you diagnose all sorts of electrical issues that you can fix yourself in 10 minutes versus paying someone a bunch of money. youtube has tons of videos on how to use a multi-meter in diagnosing almost any electrical issue you can think of so you don't even need to be extremely knowledgeable to make it worth while to have one.

Thanks Bob

Inexpensive, but they work fine for most projects.

Oops, just realized this was an old thread.

OK, old thread or not. I'm interested in if anyone has thoughts on always hot lighter socket?
Anyone?
