Re: power outlet off when car is off?

I know that the lighter on the dash stays ON when the ignition is OFF.
Mine is a '96, I have a lighter on the side, behind the driver's seat in the radio remote module, but don't remember if it stays live or not.
I am guessing that the engineer at FORD who set the lighter circuit up that way......many years ago before we started calling them "power outlet".....was a serious smoker.
