For running cell phones and iPods. I think the common name for them now is Power Point.

thanks steve!! i guess its cheaper for them to just pop in a lighter, than to put a "power point" cover on it...my 94 f150 had the power point cover...

Newbie - Power Source/Cigarette lighter question by rzackai

Newbie Question - When I shut down the car, the gps plugged into the cigarette lighter does not power off, even with the truck totally off. I assume this will drain the battery. Is there anyway to make the power source shut off when I shut the truck down? I really don't want to have to unplug the gps every time I shut the engine off.
 
Thanks

Cigarette Lighter/Power Port Not working either by wschexn

Both of my ports are no longer working. I don't know what the problem could be. First the power port went out, and then the cigarette lighter port went out. Where are the fuses that I need to check for this? I've take off my center console and my dash console to verify that the wiring is connected.
 
Please help, I'm at my wits end trying to get this to work.

Look under the hood in the fuse box. They are labeled Power Point #1 and Power Point #2
 
Replace those fuses, you should be back in business then.

Hi,
 
I have the same problem with a 1996 Explorer XLT, the accessory power ports do no power off when the ignition is switched off leaving the GPS running. Was there any suggestions on this?
 
Thanks

Ok, I have the same exact problem with the front power socket not working on my 2004 Ford Explorer. Fuses look ok. I can not bring up any replies listed above. Any help out there?
