Hello, when i brought my car there was no cigerette lighter in the dash, just a hole where it should have been, i went on ebay and brought a lighter for my car, but i carn't see anywhere to wire it up to, does anyone know what i can wire it up to or what i will need?


Cheers
Caz

 

Most lighters are a simple two wire hookup, one is 12volt power and the other is grounded. Did u purchase just the lighter or the lighter and lighter socket?

 

lighter and lighter socket

 

if you want the lighter to work even if the car is off, search for a constant 12v source at the fuse block. the body of the socket is nomally grounded (i believe ).

 

hi again

ive wired the cigerette lighter to the headunit, and the lighter works.
but when i put a phone charger in it, it didnt work. does anyone know what i should do?

thanks
caz

 

check the fuse in the phone charger part, could be blown

 

the wires for the cigarette lighter are allready in the car.if you look behind the hole you will see two wire with a connector block on the end (black) this plugs into a nissan cigarette lighter.
it my be hard to see the wire but it is there ,,trust me
