Lighter Plug S70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Ed on  Tue Nov 26 06:45 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Is it possible for the Dealer to re-program a MY2000 S-70 so that the Cigarette Lighter socket receives power even when the ignition switch is off, and the keys are removed????

    Ray, It can not be programmed but a few jumpers in the interior fuse box will do the job.
    In the fuse panel for the lighter fuse, find an always hot spare fuse input side, connect a jumper consisting of a spade male--6"wire--spade female--fuse--spade female--6"wire--spade male. The last male goes in the fuse position output side to the lighter socket. Use the fuse you take out of the lighter positon in the jumper. Electrical tape the fuse pins.
    You have now jumpered a hot 12v supply, thru a fuse, to the lighter sockets.
    Works on my S80 but I don't know your fuse numbers. See diagram on fuse cover.

    I doubt it is under software control.

    You could physically re-wire it to a constant 12V source.
    A car stereo shop could do that sort of thing for you.
