I only have one on the dash and it is switched off with the ignition
switch. I have not located a second connector that is hot. Guess I
could splice into a hot wire, but would like to do it by the book if
possible. It said in my owners manual that Chrysler could convert it
to be hot all the time, but who wants to pay for what should be a
simple task. many thanks, Everett
