Default Re: Center console power outlet

Ok so i installed a power outlet (after accidently shorting a fuse). But being dumb, i didnt read the manual first.. it turns out the power outlet in the center console drains from the battery at all times! Which is totally not what i wanted... i was hoping for it to only provide power when the unit is on! I think it is dumb to be like this since the center console has cable cutouts for you to charge a phone or something but why have the cutouts if you have to unplug the charger when you turn off the car to preserve the battery! I read that the right rear power outlet can be alternated to run only when the car is running by adjusting the mini-fuse... does anyone know how to do the same for the center console? i just spent a good part of the day installing this thing (my first time) and now i find it completely useless unles i want a dead battery... you guys have been so helpful so far and have given me the courage to even attempt this, PLEASE HELP ME
