Yes but what FUSE ?I recall on the earlier Rams
One of the fuses were powered all the time & the other was ignition powered
It may still be that way on the newer Rams
Yes the 2014 manual might not pertain to my 2021 Ram. I am pretty sure I red that the cigarette outlet is supposed to switched. Mine has full time unstitched power. I really need it to be switched. I NEED HELP .

It sounds like I will have to do a complete re-wire to the upper cigarette lighter in the upper console. Any suggestions as to where / how to get this in a switched position in the fuse box ?Yes, that's why I posted the pages from the 2021 owner's manual. If the cover of the outlet has a battery icon, it's on all the time, if it has a key on it, it's switched. I've only seen them allow you to change the switched ones to constant, not the other way around.
What do you mean (selectable ) ? Do I move the fuse from one location to the other? I’m sorry for sounding stupid but I have my GPS and my TT camera plugged in to the cigarette plug witch is now hidden behind the dash and they have the red indicator lights drawing power.Not sure if it is the same, but on my 2020 RAM 3500 the only selectable is the F90/91 fuse.

Do you know what is the number of the fuse is ?If avail, the slot that the selectable fuse is in will have 3 holes. Moving the fuse from one side to the other (middle common) will change the power source
Non ram for demo

I got it. I had to remove the lower dash panel under the steering wheel, fuse F 54 had to be moved over to the right. It is now in the switched mode. Thanks to you guys that tried to help.Do you know what is the number of the fuse is ?
