This is my third RAM. On my '96 and '02 the power outlet was hot whether the
truck was running or not. I now have a '95. It's only hot when the key is
"on" or in the "accessory" position. Has this thing been rewired? Or is this
normal for a '95.

Did they actually call it a "power outlet" in 95?

Most trucks back then had a cigarette lighter, and later models had a lighter
along with one or more power outlets... in most cases, that's the difference, a
lighter is switched and a power outlet is always hot..

I bought a fused power outlet for about $10 at an auto parts place that has 2
sockets... wired it directly into the truck..
it hangs anywhere you can put 2 small screws..

Yeah, it's separate from the lighter.

What does the Owner manual say about the power outlet? Assuming you even have
the owners manual.
