Can someone help tell me how to fix my cig lighter to always have power not just when the ignition is on. And the one on the floor doesn't work either even after replacing the fuse. I just bought it and it was very well babied.

Google it. seem to remember someone else did this by going Under teh hood, the ********* fuse box. move the cig lighter fuse over one spot.

IF the cover has a battery, it is always hot, if the cig cover has a key it is only hot with the key.
but you cna change the cig to constant hot by moving soemthing under the hood fuse box.

FOudn this, not the post I was thining of but see if it works for you

It only works on the 12v outlet on the back of the console, you move the fuse F90 to the F91 position, makes the outlet hot even with the key off.

The AUX outlets have power all the time. The cig lighter is with key on. The 07 QC I just bought doesn't have any power to any of the outlets. This post reminded me I need to repair it. I plug my wireless brake controller into it...
