How to replace a cigarette lighter in a Saturn L-Series?

I just removed my cigarette lighter from my 1994 Saturn SW1. 1. I took off the panel on the driver's side. (the other side is where the fuse box is.) 2. in the hole where the panel was I disconnected the back of the cigarette lighter (just pull it off. 3. My Saturn has a light connected to the lighter so you can see the lighter in the dark. There is a flap you push down and then you can pull the light off. 3. I got something to put inside the cigarette lighter to get it to twist (it's a screw on.) 4. After you screw it off collect the pieces. My car had four: - Cigarette Lighter - The piece on the back that I screwed off - The piece that held the light in place - The plastic piece (mine is orange) that the light illuminates through. Then put it back together in reverse.

Where can a diagram on replacing a turn signal flasher on a 1995 jimmy?

The flashers are right behind where your cigarette lighter is. You have to take off all of the coverings from underneath your car where your feet go, also you have to take off the cover where the cigarette lighter is. There are two silver dollar size fuses, the one on the right is for the flasher and the one on the left is for the hazards.
