I noticed my phone charger was glowing after I locked the car.

Is the cigarette lighter socket always live?
 
It is I believe, unless it shuts down after 15 minutes or so. But if I have something plugged in there I always remove when leaving the car.
 
i believe its always live, i think you can trickle charge the battery from there but i could be wrong
 
Was always live on my facelift car.

Maybe the pre facelift shut down after the car goes into deep sleep but i had seen mine remain on after a couple of days even!
