Question Cigarette Lighter Receptacle

[georgie]

I have a 1997 Tacoma.
I would like to have the cigarette lighter receptacle "hot" all the time for a cell phone accessory.(Currently it's only "hot" when the ignition switch is in the run or accessory position)
Can any one tell me which wires to switch around on which fuse block so that I can accomplish this?
Thanks'

If you want to do a quicky you could cut the wire to the lighter,tape the end, splice another wire from the lighter to your stereo yellow constant wire and put a 10 amp fuse inline.

I know this is a pretty old post, but...

IIRC, the cigarette lighter has its own power source, just needs a "switched" power source for it's relay, and using the suggestion above would do it.

What gauge wire should be used for the jumper?

Looking at the pics. I would say about 12 or 14 should do it.
