Default How do I switch cigarette lighter to off when ignition goes off

Heading says it all. My cigarette lighter and 12 volt are always on. I have to pull out the adapters so my backup camera and external Bluetooth speaker don't deplete the battery. How do I make them go off when I switch off the ignition

SAME QUESTION, but in a 2016 XLT.

I want to find some switched 12V power near the center of the dashboard area to hardwire a wireless backup camera system's monitor.

It's been awhile since I've done any automotive 12V wiring, and never on anything so electronically sophisticated. Help.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue for a 2019. I need switched power under the dash (not in the mirror) for a radar detector hardwire kit. If anyone can recommend a fuse slot for an add-a-circuit in the passenger kickpanel, that will help greatly as well. Thanks!

I have an '18 Lariat and the power in the truck's "cigarette lighter" sockets goes out after 7 or 11 minutes...can't quite remember which but it does go out.

Interesting! I wonder if it is the same with my 2003?
