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.

Normal. My '95 is the same.
I was afraid of that. Thanks Tom.
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.
Yep, My '95 just like it.

I don't know. Why don't you read it to me.
