Need to make charge jack hot all the time

Bigbird · Oct 16, 2014

In the console of my RAM 1500 Tradesman there is a round charge jack that I would like to make hot all the time for charging my cell phone. Is there a fuse in the fuse block under the hood that can be moved to do this?

I believe the USB ports are hot all the time. I'm not 100% on this but I kinda remember pluging my phone in even with the truck off in the center console.

in the fuse box under the hood, look for a fuse position that has three slots for the two prongs. I believe this will be the one you're looking for and can shift it's position to keep it hot all the time.

You are correct. I just checked.

I found the fuse, moved it over and it worked to make the round jack hot. Here is a photo. Thanks for the help guys. First time I run the battery down I'll move it back. :roflsquared:
