Post by: pauls on 27 May 2015, 20:03:15: How long does this stay on after key removed from ignition.

Post by: BazaJT on 27 May 2015, 21:22:27: Mine don't work unless key turned to first position at least,so always assumed they'd shut down as soon as key turned off.didn't give it a thought that there might be some kind of "delay" built in.Could be wrong of course!

Post by: pauls on 27 May 2015, 21:34:03: Thats great thanks. I have my sat nav plugged into it permanently and had a thought is it on all the time. If so will slowly drain battery.

There's probably a fairly wide tolerance on them too. It's not a precision instrument. ;)

That's true for the whole car. Like a well padded hammer!

I unplugged it after 5 minutes, got bored watching and waiting for the little green light to go out.

Post by: omega2018 on 04 June 2015, 01:08:43: if you want a permanent supply lift the rear drivers side seat there's permanent 12v thereabouts. think it may be for the heated seats, upstream of the rear heated seat timer.
