no, dont fool around. universaly the wipers and the ignition coil leads will work with the key in on positon, just hook your stereo to any fuse in the fuse box, stupid.

no need to be condecending...

Pull out the radio and hook up the positive wire to the switched 12+ wire, should be yellow, might be red, black is ground, skip the cig lighter altogether.

man, some people can be so idiotic at times.,..

yeah but this is a cig adaptor plu that i want to be able to use

basicly what i am asking is there anyway to make the cig lighter not work unless the car is on

Well, the cigar lighters should be relay controlled. I'm not sure about the older Bonnies. If the car has RAP (retained accessory power), then the radio, cigar lighter, power windows etc atomaticly shut off ten minutes after ignition turned off, or when door is opened to exit vehicle.

Yes. Cut the non-switched (aka constant) power wire to the lighter and run a wire to a switched power source at the fuse block. For a cleaner approach, splice into the radio feed as mentioned previously. GW

Or, to preserve the higher current rating, install a relay in the line to the cig lighter, and trip the relay with the radio power. Radio power is usually fused lightly - like 3-5 amps vs lighter at 20 +/-
