0 robthemuso Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I have two cigarette lighters on the dash of my g.v. the nearside one stays live all the time and the off side one turns on with the ignition. Ideal for dash cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Deano1324 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I useing the front lighter so is that the one is live all the time and the one in the boot is only live on the ignition is that right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andyb2000 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The two lighter sockets at the front, one is battery connected so constant power (picture of battery on the cover) and the other is key/ignition switched (Picture of key on cover if memory serves me right).However, if BOTH are constant power, then the fuse in the fusebox has been switched to the constantly on position (It's a 3-position fuse to allow this change) so if you find both fronts are constantly on then have a look at your fusebox for that fuse.

0 QinteQ Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I useing the front lighter so is that the one is live all the time and the one in the boot is only live on the ignition is that rightThe LHS front and the one in the boot are permanent live. The RHS is only live when the ignition is switched on. The RHS front is 12v low wattage the LHS front and the one in the boot are 12v high wattage. If you use the RHS front your camera will switch off when the engine is turned off. If you put your camera in the LHS your camera will be always be turned on - many use this setting for night-guard % supermarkets guard purposes. I hope this helps your understanding.
