Rear cigarette lighter socket.

Help please

Do you know if the rear cigarette lighter socket is live with the ignition switched off?
I have brought battery charger from Halfrauds which connects via cigarette lighter socket.

Not unless it's been rewired, as standard it comes on with ignition the same as front I think.

Mine hasn't been rewired and doesn't have a leisure battery....it goes on/off with the ignition.

I leave my coolbox plugged into it when I'm away and have flattened my battery a couple of times cos I've had the radio on forgetting that the cool box is running too. :oops:

In its standard guise, no. Mine has been re-wired so it's permanently live.
