Source for the power (cigarette) outlets

[lzrj]

One thing that bugs me about my Pathfinder is that when you turn the vehicle off, the power for the outlets also goes off. This was my main source to keep my cell phone charged with my other vehicles which always had power even when the key was turned off. Now I can only charge it while I'm driving. Anyone know of a simple way to keep power to one of the outlets all the time. i mainly keep it plugged into the outlet in the center console.

Look for the power socket relays in the EL section of the FSM. It should be as simple as providing constant battery power to the correct terminal to always have the relay energized. Some choose to keep the power socket in the rear hatch area always powered, presumably since its relay is easy to access (it's in the driver's side trim IIRC) and one can obtain constant battery power from the rear amplifier wiring harness plug (yellow wire, IIRC; check the FSM).

But I don't have a FSM. Guess I need to get one. Where can I find one?
