12 V outlet - 10/1/2006 1:16:09 PM

Hi. I am new here, just got an '06 Outlander SE on 8/26/06. Anyway, I really hate that the 12 V outlet doesn't have power when the car is off (I like to be able to charge my cell phone or bluetooth headset when I am out of the car). Is there an easy way to re-wire this so it has power all the time?

Thanks,
Tina

Welcome and congrats on the purchase!
You could tap into another hot wire, but I would say just buy another charger for the home and charge there. Mitsu will not look kindly on you playing with the wires in the dash. All my other cars would charge without the car on or in ACC position, but I just got another charger and have no worries now.

OK, thanks for the reply. My parents caravan is like this too, it really bugs me. All of my other cars had power to the 12 V outlet without the key in and on too. Just one more thing to get used to. I am loving the extra room, my last car was a neon (no neon insults please, this car served me well and was still running perfect at almost 150,000 miles, my sister owns it now) and it was really too small for me and my two dogs.

It is a little annoying, but you know how those "wire Gremlins" can be if you do not do things properly.
