On a 2006 Ford Fiesta, the cigarette lighter socket is typically not live when the engine is turned off. This means you generally cannot recharge a battery through it while the vehicle is off. However, some vehicles may have modifications or specific configurations that could allow this, so it's always best to consult the owner's manual or a professional for confirmation.
Through the cigarette lighter.
no
Yes! You can buy trickle chargers that work through the cigarette lighter.
You might be pulling too much power through the cigarette lighter. Also the cigarette lighter may grounding out for some reason or another. If the car has an aftermarket stereo, whoever installed it may have miswired it.
Unless Peugot has gone through the trouble of placing an inverter to convert the batteries DC to AC (highly unlikely), the cigarette lighter would be DC.
Nickel Cadmium batteries can last through about 2000 recharge cycles.
To recharge a secondary cell, such as a rechargeable battery, you need to connect it to a compatible charger. Make sure to use the correct voltage and current settings recommended for the specific battery type to avoid damage. Allow the battery to charge fully before disconnecting it for optimal performance and longevity.
The cigarette lighter outlet is only on when the car is on or the key is in the accessory position. The two dedicated power out lets are always on. AS a point of interest if the battery is dead you can jump the car through those outlets.
lots of wires
Approximately ten amps available at the lighter's socket. Ohm's Law thus gives 12V x 10A = 120 Watts...
AnswerThe cigarette lighter does not have a relay. It does however have a fuse. It may use the same fuse as the radio. If all fuses are good, suspect the lighter itself is bad. Try your lighter in a know good lighter receptacle. If it works there, then suspect the lighter receptacle in your car is bad.My Haynes repair manual for model years 1990 through 1993 states that the cigarette lighter relay is found in the left end of the dashboard below the PGM-FI relay.
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.
