I just soldered the ends of mine together and wrapped in in insulation. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Cig lighter [Re: highvan] #837010 10/03/07 10:43 PM Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 669 Austin,TX D dcg9381 Rock Warrior If you're running power and ground to it (it requires both) check for continuity between the contacts on the inside and the connections that you're running wires to on the outside. On mine, my + wire (factory) had started to melt down from running a DC/AC converter - not enough current to pop a fuse, but the wires aren't large enough to really handle much in the way of amps. 22REturbo.net 1988 4Runner 22RTE core, turbocharged, megasquirted...

The cig lighter gets no power unless the switch is in acc position. Otherwise rogers advise it probably right on as usual.
