Cigarette Lighter/12 V Power Plug
Are the cigarette lighter and 12V power plug always active and putting out power even after you turn off the vehicle? Might be a dumb question but was just wondering is that when I turn off my 2009 F150 the devices that are plugged into them stay on even if I remove the key from ignition

Most 12V sockets are wired for constant power. Now, with no devices plugges into them they obviously don't draw any power.
