Hyundai Repair: Santa Fe power outlet, battery connection, constant power


Question
2010 Santa Fe, Can any of the 4, 12V power outlets be changed to always hot instead of being switched by accessory on the key?

Answer
You could do this, but you'd need to tap into a circuit elsewhere in the vehicle that has constant power.  Depending on  what you're using in the outlet, this could overload the circuit.

Another solution would be to wire the outlet directly to the battery and put an in-line fuse in at the battery connection.
