Cigarette Lighters

Passenger's Side Fascia

Position #14

20 amp fuse (yellow)

I have a 2002 Jaguar XK8 and the fuse panel is on the driver's side of the dashboard. My cig lighter is not working. The fuses are not numbered. Can you provide a diagram with fuse number and function?

The wick of the Zippo is made of non-flammable fibre and is wrapped in braided copper wire. Cotton wool, or similar, is packed around the wick in the body of the lighter. This cotton wool is impregnated with lighter fluid.

When the Zipo is struck, the wheel grinds sparks off the flint which ignites fuel that has soaked up the wick. The fuel impregnating the wick heats until it becomes a gas, at which point the environment flashes over and the gaseous fluid ignites. Heat from the flame travels down the copper braiding into the impregnated wool heating up the fuel. The fuel vapourises and improves the flow of fuel up the wick. Pressure inside the lighter also forces fluid and gasses from the inside of the lighter out through the opening.

This is partially why Zippos are so windproof.

what im sure youre looking for is vm&p naphtha. try ace hardware's or any other store carrying Coleman brand camping fluid, zippo lighter fluid, or ronsonol lighter fluid. its not terribly hard to find if you actually know what youre looking for and can avoid appearing as a drug user (for which this is widely used).

now go forth, and extract something great.

Make sure the wires are connected to the cigar lighter. If they are, is there any power to them? If not, check the fuse. If there is power and it still won't work, then the lighter itself may be burned out. Try a different lighter in your socket to see if it works, or buy a replacement lighter/socket assembly and install it.

Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.

It's a 20 amp fuse located on the center panel on the left side of the passenger seat. The panel cover is stamped on the inside.

a lighter can contain many different parts depending on what kind of lighter it is. a zippo type lighter consists of : 1) The Case usually chrome plated brass or stainless steel. the case consists of 4 parts. 1) The top 2) the bottom 3) the hinge 4) a small piece of metal that a spring loaded arm rests on to keep the top closed the hinge is soldered to the top and bottom peices of the case. the "arm rest" is soldered to the top 2) What I call the fuel cell, which holds a absorbant material (usually cotton) and a wick which is basically a string that is soaked in naptha (lighter fluid) and is ignighted by a flint when a steel roller is spun by your thumb. The fuel cell is a removeable part of the lighter that you pull out of the case and fill with lighter fluid. The cotton soaks up the lighter fluid which soaks the wick wiith fuel. The fuel cell also has the spring loaded arm that keeps the lid closed, and a small tube that extends from the bottom thru the top for the flint. At the top of the flint tube is a wheel that looks like a section of a file. this is turned to create a spark to ignite the wick. At the bottom of the flint tube is a small thumb screw with a spring attached that feeds the flint to the wheel. The flint and the wick are the only parts that you need to replace so these kind of lighters are very reliable and seldom need repairs The flint is very easy to replace and you can get them at most any drugstore. the wick is a bit tougher to replace but lasts a lot longer than the flint and will give a couple of years of service under most normal use.

You can buy it at most grocery stores and convenience stores (it will be behind the counter) or any cigar or smoke shop.

I suggest my site, 123zippo.

it has the biggest collection of Constantine on the net, everything is DIY, highly customed.

Whatever someone is willing to pay for it. These were mass produced and there were a variety of models.

The standard generic ones are only worth $5 to $10; some of the more rare models can be worth $20 to $100

A typical butane cigarette lighter would produce a flame in a low-gravity space ship. It would not produce a flame in the vacuum of space.

This is from the TSA website: Common Lighters - Lighters without fuel are permitted in checked baggage. Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked baggage, unless they adhere to the Department of Transportation (DOT) exemption, which allows up to two fueled lighters if properly enclosed in a DOT approved case. If you are uncertain as to whether your lighter is prohibited, please leave it at home. Torch Lighters - Torch lighters create a thin, needle-like flame that is hotter (reaching 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit) and more intense than those from common lighters. Torch lighters are often used for pipes and cigars, and maintain a consistent stream of air-propelled fire regardless of the angle at which it is held. Torch lighters continue to be banned.

It depends where and what kind of lighter; for instance, if you want to buy a Bic lighter, then really it's the seller's choice. If it's a gas station, they'll probably sell you one. But if you want a Zippo and gas stations don't sell them, then you'll have to go to Walgreens, a smoke shop, or somewhere else, and at those places, you will have to be 18.

Differential in heat and cold can cause electrical connections to expand and contract causing the electrical connection to fail. Check the fuse box first to see if your accessory fuse is blown. If it is replace it. If not, it is necessary to remove the dash where the cigarette lighter is concealed. A new factory connection may need to be wired in. Check local junk yards for this part. Various Maxima years may be applicable.

In the 03 its to the right of the stering wheel behind the little flip box, but mine is still messed up had no fuse problems. No idea whaat to try next

That depends on the country, and possibly the state, you live in. In most countries it's the late teens. Many supermarkets in the UK won't sell cigarettes to anyone apperantly under 25 witrhout proof of age, owing to the difficulty in judging ages.

The value of a WWI trench lighter depends on the condition. A private buyer may buy one in mint condition for over 1,000 dollars.

how to replace the whole lighter in the console on infiniti 2001 g20

I have a product manual for a WIN lighter that indicates for a #1400, #1900, #2100 series ...BUTANE FUEL will give best results. In fact, it advertises WIN BUTANE FUEL and WIN flints. Hope this helps. Diana

where is the fuse for the audio on a peugeot 407

First you need to identify which type of fuel cartridge you need. You can determine this by looking inside the cap you screwed off to expose the fill valve. The inside of the cap will be color coded red, gold, blue, or green. Use a Dupont refill cartridge of the corresponding color. You can refuel a Dupont lighter using a steady hand and a regular butane cannister, but I don't recommend it. I broke the valve on one of mine that way after successfully refueling it for over a year. I was traveling a lot, and had a hard time finding Dupont fuel cartridges, so I got in the practice of using whatever butane I could find. Don't do this. Even if you've got practice at it, you'll probably break your lighter eventually and they're expensive to fix. There are metal screw-in adapters available, which will work just fine, too. Again, these are coded as to the type of lighter indicated by the color under the fill cap.

So, once you have either a metal adapter or a Dupont cartridge that fits your lighter, remove the fill cap, lightly press down on the valve stem to release any remaining gas and air which may have leaked in, and then firmly screw in either the gas cartridge or the adapter. If you're using a gas cartridge, simply let it sit until the cartridge is visibly empty, and then quickly unscrew the cartridge. The cartridges are single use, and your lighter is now refueled. If you're using an adapter, use a butane can with a cone shaped plastic sleeve over the valve stem, and press firmly against the hole in the adapter. Fill until butane begins to leak around plastic sleeve, remove the butane can and quickly unscrew the adapter. Some people recommend freezing the lighter first, by placing it in the freezer for several minutes. The theory is that a cold lighter will allow a larger amount of fuel in before the pressure balances against the remainders in the cartridge. I haven't found this to actually give any benefit. If more fuel is successfully transferred to the lighter this way, it's a very small amount and doesn't make a significant difference.

When refueling, it's also a good time to check your flint. Running a flint too short can result in pushing the flint ram against the striker and cutting a groove in the flint ram. It'll still work after you've damaged the ram in that way, but it's a preventable bit of damage and really annoying should you accidentally do so.

If fuse is good, then replace the lighter itself or the entire lighter assembly. **added 12/18/2007: Personally, I rewired the cigarette lighter. I was sick of it only operating with the key in the ignition (i wanted to charge my cel in m car while I was at work), and I am pretty sure it will work if your lighter is completely inop.. I wired the positive lead (center terminal) to the constant power supply to my radio, as it was the closest. However, there are dangers to doing this, so I also put a 7.5 amp fuse in line with the power lead as well as a diode (makes sure power only travels in one direction).

The name of the inventor of the first cigarette lighter is Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner. The device was known to be large and dangerous. Interestingly the lighter was invented before the invention of what has become known as the friction match.
