    buy a light tester and test for the positive side, the other side will be the negative. I'm not certain but the color of wire may have changed throughout the years.

        no thread jack intented but my question is:

        Is the green plastic ring around the lighter supposed to illuminate and was there an option for an ashtray light?

              I've had a half dozen Festivas and have never seen an illuminated cigar lighter or ashtray.

              Not in any wiring diagrams, either.

                    Maybe WES forgot to mention the pink elephants prancing on his hood when that cig lighter circle lights up! Too much of his icon to drink, no doubt.

                        could this be acived by a "glow ring" one that charges in the day light and glows in the dark perhaps?

                          My lighter outlet just stopped working a few days ago after running a 13 amp harbor freight heater off it. Go figure.

                          Fuses are fine, strangely my stereos 12v acc runs off the fuse labeled cigar, and there was a 30amp fuse in there, when there should be a 15amp. Great.
