A quick follow-up: I pt everything back to gether and all is working, so it must be for something that my car is not equiped with light the flashlight previously mentioned.
Thanks to all for you thoughts

Nice, it's a key switched power line. I removed the flashlight from mine. I bought a 12V adapter to fit the plug. It now powers my XM radio module.

Pics can be found here.

Further info - mystery plug is a switched 12v source! I used it to power a inexpensive Carplay unit by wiring it to a cigarette lighter type female connector.

Yes, fuse F36 is on Terminal R (ignition pos. 1).
