How can I change the aux cig lighter outlet to be switched with the key?
I just purchased a 2013 Chevy Silverado truck. It has two cigarette lighter things on the dash. But, they both appear to be always on. I don't want to leave stuff plugged in and end up with a dead battery. Does anyone have a quick, easy, and least invasive way to change one so it's switched with the ignition on/off?
I was just looking it up and thinking maybe I could use a fuse tap to tap into a switched fuse.. but don't really see the point of that. Seems just as easy to just remove the fuse block and then cut the wire to the non-fused aux power and tap it in from a switched fuse to the newly cut wire. Either way, I'd have to remove the fuse block to cut the wire. The fuse tap is just one less wire cut.
What would be really cool is if one of you told me there was a switched aux port that I haven't noticed yet.
