I have a device that requires to be plugged in to the cigarette lighter. I don't drive the car everyday sometimes maybe not even for a week or so. If I forget to unplug it, the battery will die. In my old GMC Truck i hooked up the cigarette lighter to the wire that feeds the radio when the key is on and that worked fine. I planned to do the same here... I tried to find the same wire on this radio but I'll be honest I only found one radio wire being fed 12v and it was constant. Anyway... Does anyone have any ideas how to get the lighter to shut off with the key? 2010 Ford Fusion SE 2.5L (On foreign vehicles the power to the cigarette lighter was killed with the ignition key which is my goal)

Greetings, So, I have a 2010 Ford Fusion SE, and the front power point has juice enough to light the LED on my usb adapter, but not enough to charge a cell phone or power a Garmin. My first thought was that it was a fuse, but the 20A fuse (#29 under the hood) is perfectly fine. This happened a few months ago but it was corrected during regular maintenance when they replaced an exterior bulb (which is very odd, but cause or correlation my phone charged). When it happened again I checked every bulb I could find and all was well, so now that I have checked the fuse I am out of ideas. Has anyone encountered this before or have any thoughts on how I might isolate the issue? Thanks, David
