Hi all just curious on my 3.0d 2004 the 12v dc socket plug in the boot does not work at all with either car started or off , I plugged in a 12v tire inflator to it and it wouldnt start the device, whereas in the 12v cig socket up front worked fine....

By default is the 12v outlet in the boot a stay alive outlet?

(kinda of a long story-but think the mystery gps tracker i have in my car and cant find maybe wired to this power source but not sure the electricians would have disabled the sockets altogether at rear and not told previous owner hmmm-bloody parasitic drain!)
