Take out the dash panel with the cigarette lighter space (that has a push-out disc in) Ferret round with your finger and you will find (usually left of centre and above) short wires with two spade connector sockets. These are for attachment to your cig. lighter. If you lighter is from Rover (Ah! the good old days) just push in the spade connectors and re-assemble the panel. If it is not a genuine spare attach two spade end to your wires and use them to connect as before. Hope this helps. Bob Fretwell (Spain)

When your cigarette lighter fuse is good and there is voltage measured between the fuse's load side to ground (To check this, use a dc voltmeter or a 12v automotive lamp and an automotive lamp socket. Connect one wire to the fuse and the other wire to the chassis of the vehicle the lamp should glow if voltage is present on the fuse terminal.), check the wire between the fuse and cigarette lighter. This wire should be without cut and when the wire is good then check the connector on the cigarette lighter socket for loose connection or corrosion. One more thing is that, make sure that your cigarette lighter fits the cigarette lighter socket because not all cigarette lighters will work on some cigarette lighter sockets.
To wire a Toyota Echo cigarette lighter, first, disconnect the car battery to ensure safety. Remove the dashboard panel to access the lighter socket, then detach the lighter from its harness. Connect the positive wire (usually red) to the lighter’s terminal and the negative wire (typically black) to the ground. Finally, reassemble the panel and reconnect the battery to test the lighter.
To wire a cigarette lighter in a Fiat Punto, first, disconnect the car battery for safety. Remove the center console or panel where the lighter is located. Connect the lighter's positive wire (usually red) to a fused power source and the negative wire (usually black) to a ground point. Reassemble the console, reconnect the battery, and test the lighter to ensure it functions correctly.
check the fuse or the ground wire.
If the cigarette lighter is not working and the ACC fuse, inside the car, left of steering wheel, is still good (radio is working), the "fuse" on the back side of the cigarette lighter socket, a brown wire, has blown. Socket needs to be replaced or fixed with a soldering iron and a new wire.
To wire the cigarette lighter in a 1992 Nissan Sentra, first, disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical shorts. Remove the trim panel around the lighter and unscrew it from its housing. Connect the positive wire (usually red) to the lighter terminal and the negative wire (usually black) to the ground terminal. Reassemble the components and reconnect the battery to test for functionality.
To wire a 12-volt cigarette lighter plug to a backup camera LCD monitor, first ensure the monitor is powered off. Strip the ends of the wires from the monitor and the cigarette lighter plug. Connect the positive wire (usually red) from the monitor to the positive terminal of the cigarette lighter plug, and the negative wire (usually black) to the negative terminal. Secure the connections with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape, ensuring no wires are exposed, and then plug it into a 12-volt socket to test the setup.
The live wire for the cigarette lighter in a Renault Grand Scenic typically connects to the vehicle's power supply, usually from the fuse box. It is often a red wire, but color coding can vary, so it's essential to check the vehicle's wiring diagram for accuracy. The live wire provides the necessary power for the cigarette lighter to function. Always ensure the vehicle is off and take precautions when handling electrical components.
To wire a cigarette lighter in a boat, first ensure the power is disconnected to avoid shocks. Connect the lighter's positive terminal to the boat's battery or a suitable fuse box, using appropriate gauge wire. Attach the negative terminal to a ground point on the boat's frame or directly to the battery's negative terminal. Finally, secure all connections and test the lighter to ensure it works properly.
the color of the positive wire should be a bright red color.
Take the old one out and wire the new one the sam way.
