<DIV id=RTEContent>My wife's car, a 2001 Cadillac, has the option of having the
cigarette plugs on all the time, or of following the "available" power cycle (on
for about 10 minutes after ignition is turned off). This is done by moving one
of the fuses in the main fuse block from one slot to another. This feature is
described in the user's manual.<BR><BR>73, Claude K5DTN<BR><BR><B><I>Gregg
