Yep, mine too. I looked it up in the electrical schematics in the helms manual and that is how it says it is in there. It is wired up to the same wire as the stereo ignition power wire…
In all honesty I think it is going to end up as one of those threads that ends the same way that “what options does each trim style come with” ends…

mine is always ON. My buddy has a 93 civic and the outlet is switched.
re cig lighter
So does anyone know how to rewire the cigarette lighter to work with the ignition off?
Look for the cig relay, mine is underneath center console trim to the left on metal frame outside of the radio. There will be 4 wires.
2 wires are for the relay coil- one black for ground and one for 12v trigger(Yel/red on mine). Make sure the 12v coil power is connected to an ignition source and not constant 12v. The other two wires- both wht/blu are 12v constant and cig lit 12v input.
