It's the same here. In some instances a car may not have an ashtray or cigarette lighter (and they'd be optional) but might have the same socket as '12V Power'. Most US cars with a 'cigarette lighter' keep it live with the ignition off. Most Japanese cars I've seen have it live only with when Ignition or ACC is on. How's it work in the UK?jfheath said:Cars are commonly fitted with 'cigarette lighter' sockets, although newer models do not always have the lighter installed.
Well if you're going to be logical about it... And using a jumper cable with a 12V plug really wouldn't make a lot of sense nor be very practical.T_C said:Okay.. bit I was just more thinking that they would plug in an accessory that is live with the bike switched off.
