    i want to plug a trickle solar charger into my hijet panel van 993cc (1996) cigarette lighter socket. Is the socket disconnected with the ignition off? Any advice appreciated...

    cheers

    Do you have a lighter in the socket? Does it work with the key off?

    my liteace that's a no. so for the live wire for the radio i got one of those dual fuse jumpers from canadian tire and use that. it goes in the fuse box and has 2 fuses on it and a wire coming out. then i ran that wire to my constant for the radio. used the dome light fuse.

    you could do the same to wire that solar pannel into the fuse box?

  5. I am weary of those chargers. I know a guy that cooked a tractor battery because the solar charger did not float it just kept charging.
     
  6. Oh mine will not without the key in ignition on acc, or on.
