Dashboard 12v making live?

[Macmov]

I want to keep the 12v cig. lighter fulltime pwr when the truck is off, is this possible?

there's a fuse you move to its second position. Very simple. It's in the manual.

I think it’s fuse f54 in the distribution venter under the hood, power outlet, move the fuse over one into the numbered posn for constant power. Just confirm the fuse number in your manual.

Page 120 of the manual shows the two positions.

Maybe I should have explained better, mine's a 4500. I don't know if it is much different than the 1500's but my manual doesn't show a constant on option that I can find. F91 shows pwr outlet and looks like it is switchable and F93 cigar lighter looks non-switchable. But I don't know which outlet is which, guess I will just pull fuses and find out, but too cold out right now.

If you have the older layout, which the 4500 might, then I believe it F91 is what you want to jumper

Try the movable fuse and see if it does the trick. Power outlet should be the one on top of the dash, and cigar lighter should be low on the dash.

Yup! you were right F91, Perfect.
Thank you guys!

FYI, on the 2020 manual its page 89.

1 — F54 Fuse 20 A Yellow Power Outlet Battery Fed Position
2 — F54 Fuse 20 A Yellow Power Outlet Ignition Fed Position

On my 2020 1500 bighorn, the power is constant, even when truck is off. I wish mine was the opposite and only had power when the truck was on since I don't have my dash cam hardwired yet, so I need to remember to plug it in to the cigarette lighter when I leave and unplug when I park. Otherwise it will stay on all night.

Have you checked to see if the fuse can be moved? It's really simple -- three fuse terminals in a row. One is battery, one is key, and the center one is the load. Just moved the fuse over one space.

I'll have to take a look. I just figured that was the way it was, but hopeful that I can just do what you said.

It's in the owners manual I forget which one has to go over 1 pin and yes the cig goes live

Edit: I read up and this has been covered F54 is indeed the fuse

I believe that's it.

Correct!

Sorry guys, I have a 19 Laramie and my fuse panel looks nothing like this. I must be missing something. My F54 is a PCM fuse and oriented differently.

Never mind.. got my head out of my butt and realized there are 2 fuse panels. Works great now!!

What page of the owner's manual covers the subject? Thanks

Hate that they decided to go with the always on option. But glad it’s a somewhat simple fix, do you need to unplug the fuse and then move it over? Or can you just slide it over?
Thank you in advance!
