Just remembered the correct term for it. "Crossfeed" (not short; thanks, Big Jim). Need to get a wiring diagram and look for where there might be a crossfeed. Look at where there is an "always hot" wire (like clock, cigar lighter....). Once again, need to check ignition switch wiring and headlamp switch wiring.

Edit. Check wiring for sockets in Passenger Compartment Fuse Box (left of steering column under the dash).

Fuse 27 Cigar lighter (orange/yellow wire and red wire), Fuse 34 Clock (orange/yellow wire and red wire), Fuse 30 Ignition Switch (green wire and violet/yellow wire)
