Default looking for non-intrusive way to make accessory plug switched

Does anyone know of a non-intrusive way to make the passenger side accessory plug switched, rather than always-on for a 2006 ram 1500?

I know I can snip the wire and splice in from the lighter circuit (no heavy load, just don't want a splitter plugged in to the lighter externally), but I'm looking for any other means first.

On my durango, you can just move the fuse over to a different slot to change from always on to ignition controlled, and I have seen some mentions of dealer programming for the Ram (not much info on that), but nothing solid on how to do it.

My 300C has some programming entries that can change the function of the power outlets. Have you checked your O/M?

Thanks! That's what I get for getting too used to looking online

I did find this in the O/M:


If desired, all of the power outlets can be


converted by your authorized dealer to provide power


with the ignition switch in the ON position only


Soooooooo...I decided to check out the fuse block (duh...again...too much online)....I wanted to see what "conversion" had to be done by the "authorized dealer"....


Turns out....IT'S JUST LIKE MY DURANGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It's a 3 position fuse, I just had to move it over...


I'll quit typing now
