Front cigarette power doesn't shut off anymore

this recently started happening, and i can't figure it out.
the front cigarette lighter power doesn't shut off anymore. pulled the fuse, and its still on. doesn't turn off when key is removed anymore.
have a 3 prong power adapter attached to run some accessories, so i have to pull it and the sheath out to depower at night.
any ideas whats going on/how to fix it?

Pulled the fuse and still has power? Your mini is creating free energy.

so, i finally figured it out.
I have an emergency power jumper/air compressor plugged into the rear cig lighter, it was powering the front receptacle the whole time.

I thought it was just charging the unit by having it plugged in, but i guess it works both ways.
