Ok the power to the cigerette power is always on weither the keys are in the ignition or not does this mean someone hooked the power to a constant or is that just how the 98 chevy lumina 3.1 was designed??

My 2000 Lumina is the same way.
I used to forget and leave my radar detector plugged in and therefore running, so I just opened up the dash and tapped into the ignition switched power going to the radio. If you have something you usually have in the car and use, I would just hardwire it in. Looks cleaner too.

since there is use for constant power outlets (like keeping my gps charged, cell, etc), i would just add an auxilary power outlet (or dual or triple socket) that is wired into switched power supply... so you have both constant/switched
