Is there a way to get constant power from a cigarette lighter?

However, the relay could be bad… you can check by jumpering the 2 wider terminals of it with a pair of 1/4″ spade terminals on a couple inches of 12-ga wire. You can also leave it like that to get constant power even with the truck off. There is also a non-replaceable ‘fusible link’ type thing on the back of each outlet, or so I’ve heard.

Is there a relay for a cigarette lighter?

I can’t find any relays for the cigarette lighter socket –if there are any for my model (late 95) . Every fuse in the truck seems to be OK. Take the socket out and see if there is 12V at the plug (connector). Now that you have the socket out, use your meter and find out where the continuity stops.

Where are the spade lugs on a cigarette lighter?

There is indeed a fusible link (very small) where the 2 spade lugs are located. The washer I speak of is non conductive and between the one spade lug and the center part of the socket (not the washer immediately after the nut).

How do I Fix my CIG lighter going out?

Find a source that is power all the time. I’m going to look in the fuse box first. If found then use a Bussmann BP/HHH ATM Add-A-Fuse and tie the wire to the middle prong of the cig lighter accessory outlet. 4x4_Angel likes this. Sounds good keep me posted. Ill check it out. I had the same issue with my power outlets/usb going out.
