Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

I have a 2008 Cayman S and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to make either of the two 12 volt power points turn off with the car. I would like to leave something plugged in and not worry about draining the battery if I forget to remove it or turn if off. They both have power to them all the time now.

POST 2Original post

I did this a while ago but I don't recall the exact process. (ie, the exact fuse locations used). This involves using a jumper in the footwell fuse box. 1. Remove the fuse to the footwell 12V outlet (either A8 or A10 IIRC). Test to verify the power outlet is dead. 2. I used an Add-Fuse plug on a switched fuse circuit. There are several commonly used for adding devices. Insert the removed fuse (1) into the vacant Add-a-fuse terminal 3. Crimp a male (spade) insulated wire connector to the end of the Add-a-fuse wire. Good idea to use some wire shrink to reinforce and insulate the crimp. 3. Plug the spade into the LOAD side of the terminal of the removed fuse (1). This effectively makes the cig lighter a switched device. Warning - there is a real danger that if the Add-a-fuse wire got pulled out from the socket it could short if it touched metal. However, with the fuse cover attached that would be unlikely. Also the wire would be fuse protected so it would quickly blow the fuse. However you really don't want that to happen. For the above to work you must determine which is the LOAD side of the fuse terminal (the one you removed in #1) so you don't inadvertently backfeed the entire switched side of the circuitry with constant +12V. Use a multimeter to verify that the lug you are plugging the wire into is not already hot. If you don't understand anything I'm trying to express - ask questions before trying this. This process avoids cutting any wires and is easily reversible.
