always-on DC outlet

Is it possible to modify the circuitry on any one of the 3 DC outlets in the car to become an "always-on" outlet?

Thanks,
Larry

Larry,
I just bought a new '07 Tucson. Can you tell me where the "3" power outlets are located. I find one in the rear luggage (trunk) area, and a cigarette lighter/power outlet on the dash. Am I missing the third outlet?
Thanks

the only outlet in my '05 that works is the cigarette lighter.  the one in the back and the one in the middle of the car don't work.  any way i can get this fixed?

Check Fuse 16 in your passenger compartment fuse box.  It drives those two outlets (and nothing else).  It is a 15 amp fuse out of the factory.  Have you maybe shorted it out accidentally or plugged in something that might draw more than that?  Anyway, I bet replacing the fuse will fix it.

i got my car used and have only used the cigarette lighter to charge my cell phone.  i didn't think to check the outlets before driving off the lot.  i also didn't know it had more than the cigarette outlet).

on a long road trip with my parents, my mother had to drive (or else she gets sick), so i sat in the back passenger area and tried to charge my phone with that outlet.  nothing happened to my phone.  usually it lights up when charging, so that's when i realized the outlet didn't work.  i then tried the outlet in the back, and found it didn't work either.  i've always suspected a fuse, but haven't checked the fuse box yet.
