Gps Accessory
Why won’t my Toyota accessory outlet doesn’t work unless car is on?
I have a 2002 Toyota Highlander. In the front of the car it has a cigarette lighter and a 120v max accessory plug. There is also an accessory plug in the cargo area. If I plug something into either of the accessory plugs, e.g. a cell phone car charger, it does not work unless the key is in the ignition and it is turned to accessory or the car is running. Is this how it should be? It’s kind of frustrating because if I want to leave my cell phone or GPS plugged in to charge while I am away from my car, I can’t.
It’s so you won’t drain your battery trying to charge too many devices or a too powerful device. Like a Laptop.
Your Car Battery is only for starting your Car. The car runs on the alternator while it’s on.
Car Batteries have got smaller over the years because Lead is heavy. So many Manufactures are putting smaller and smaller batteries in their cars. Some models of Cars/Trucks might still allow you to charge devices while you’re away. But more are going to, or already already have done the same thing Toyota has.
You can put a hot lead in like others have suggested. But when you run the battery down and your car won’t start, you’ll at least know where you are lol.
My advice would be to either get back up batteries for your devices or charge them before you leave home.
Good luck either way!
