Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / February 200812v cigarette circuit
Is the following device and use in my 156? ebay item 280201276113 - http://tinyurl.com/32ckou Its a 12v solar panel for keeping the battery topped up. Connects to the cigarette lighter, but isn't the circuit to the cigarette lighter switched off when the engine is off, thereby rendering the device useless?

Reckon so  SignatureCatman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 145 2.0 Cloverleaf 156 V6 2.5 S2 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk Yep - You're correct. An interesting device but it will not work on the Alfa 156 and probably other cars where the power to the cigarette lighter is removed when the engine is off. How about gluing it to the 156 bonnet and cutting a huge access hole to get straight to the battery!!

I don't know a car that provides power through the cigarette lighter when the ignition is off, so don't see that this will work on any car! >> Yep - You're correct.
