Seeing what the wires are would allow a person to know which wire is which on a 1988 Toyota. It would be helpful to see what the wires are to know what they are for.
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.
Just pull all the fuses out and check them. Replace the bad one. that's not really going to help.... remove the cigarette lighter by pulling the trim off the radio there is a fusable link on the cigarette lighter socket itself. you can replace the socket or try to replace the fuseable link its a peice of 14 gauge aluminum wire....
To wire a cigarette lighter in a 1991 Toyota truck, locate the lighter's socket and identify the power and ground wires. Typically, the positive wire (usually red) connects to a fused power source, while the negative wire (usually black) connects to a good ground point on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure all connections are secure, and test the lighter by inserting it into the socket to confirm it heats up properly. If it does not work, check the fuse associated with the lighter circuit and replace it if necessary.
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.
Dont smoke
check the fuse or the ground wire.
there should be a plastic trim piece that will pop out to the left of the ashtray any cigarette ligter should fit and then just hard wire to a fused circuit
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.
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.
