Tool batt charging

[JacksonH]

WHY??? doesn't this big truck, as a tool, NOT have a cigarette lighter plug that is hot all the time? to charge tool batteries without having the ACC on ?? silly or am i missing something????

I looked up the diagram for a 13 3500 and it shows the power outlets are fused B+ not switched B+. What truck do you have. Give me the last 6 of your VIN and I can look specifically at your truck diagram.

The one in the seat compartment is always hot, the one in the floor counsel is keyed.

if you look in your manual, there is a fuse (I think it was 91 on mine) that has 2 positions for the fuse, you can make it on with the ignition or on all the time by moving the fuse. The fuse location has 3 holes and the fuse has 2 legs, mine came set up for on with ignition, so the legs were in slots 1 and 2, moving the fuse to slots 2 and 3 makes it on all the time.

On my truck, center console USB port is ONLY hot, as long as the starter button is set to ACC, RUN, or with truck engine is running. The dashboard USB port is hot/charges as long as i leave the iPhone with cord connected/plugged in. IF I unplug cord the at the iPhone, then plug it back in it won't charge. I have to unplug the cord from the dashboard side to get it on to charge again.

I have the bench seat, not the console. For mine, the one thats hot all the time is in the fold down middle seat compartment. If I remember correctly, the outlet is identified inthe manual where it talks about the fuse.
