Hello and Welcome -

My name is ***** ***** Im sorry to see you have had a wait.. I can help you with this.

If you go to the wire that feeds the cig lighter itself at the rear of the cig lighter - the centre one - you can either trace that wire back to the fuse box and cut it - change t from there ( you will see the cig lighter fuse marked in the fuse box )... and then re route it using a in line fuse to either a permanent live at the base of the fuse box - or, simply the other side of the fuse that you have identified as the cig lighter fuse - that side being its perm supply.

Or you can run it from the battery pos - but that as above is the easiest way.

Let me know if you need anything else at all.. If you do get back to me, I will get back to you asap thereafter.

Meantime , please do now at this point, click on the "Excellent ratings" for me... I really appreciate that and Thank you....

Kind Rgds, MIKE..
