Is there any way to switch the cigarette plug socket in the dashboard as well as the one in the center console from constant power to ignition without having to run new wiring My rechargeable flashlight is draining the battery a little too much.

Good afternoon.

Are you leaving the flashlight in the charger even with the engine off?

No, you need to change the wiring. That is not programmable.......................

Okay, both are constant fused circuits. There is no way to change from constant to key on power.

Okay, in order to make these work with the key on, you will need to run new wires from the fuse block to the power wires at the port. I did leave a diagram for you in the previous post. That way the ports will only be powered with the key on.

My auxiliary power port and cigarette lighter are not working. The fuse was good but changed it just to make sure. What else could it be?

that was a 30 amp fuse you replaced? Need to get a test light and see if theer is any power at the center bottom of the outlets, if none , yet fuse is good, you will need a meter to do a continuity test from the non feed side of the fuse to the center contact in the outlets
