How to make a 12V power outlet always on?

[MaverickX]

I am wondering if anyone has figured out how to make at least one of the cigarette lighter 12V power outlets always on (when ignition/acc is off). By default, the system turns off all the outlets when the ignition is turned off and a door is opened. I was unable to find any relevant setting in the system menu. I am wondering if there is a way to make it work either with Forscan or some kind of a trick in a fuse box (I know some VWs allow that by a simple fuse move).

I don't think u need any tricks to make that work just find a circuit that stays hot in the fuse box and run a wire from there to either new lighter plugs or you could change the wires from the one u want to stay on..

Thank you. I think of rewiring as a last resort. Only if it cannot be done with configuration settings.

If you are talking about the Power Points (Cigarette Lighter) Sockets (please note this is from the 2020 to 2023 ranger forum )
