What’s with the 12 Volt Charger in the S650

[GTPony24]

I’m sure this has already been addressed somewhere on this forum but I couldn’t find an answer so my apologies. I plug a speed radar into my 12V. My 2018 ecoboost would automatically kill power to the 12V when the car shut down. However the S650 GT seems to keep power to the 12V whether the car is on or not, causing me to have to manually turn off the speed radar to protect the battery. Is there a setting somewhere for this or is it just a thing?

Every Ford I've ever had has had the power port stay hot after shutdown. I didn't know there was a car that didn't so as far as I know this is just a Ford thing. GM is the same way.

Agreed.

I have 4 Fords, my 2024 hasn’t arrived yet, and the power ports are hot until I open the door and go back on when I when I open the door a second time.

I have a 2021 F150, and the power port goes off shortly after you lock the doors.
