Default Cigarette Lighter

Can anyone tell me if the cigarette lighter is energized with the key off?
If it is then I can use the Battery Tender from the cigarette lighter which will work much better when on a lift for the winter.
Thanks.

You could push the lighter in an see if it gets hot.

I would do that if I had my car. It's not being built until the week of the 17th. I just wanted to order the charger now to be ready.

Thanks.
In my 2007 C6 vert, both the cigarette lighter and accessory power outlet (in center console) are energized with the car/key off.
Hope this helps!

BTW, congrats and best of luck with your new car!

Thanks, this forum is great. I haven't had a vette since 1985 so needless to say I am a little excited. I hope it is the same for the 08.

My pleasure!! There's no greater feeling than owning a vette - you're gonna love your '08!!
