lighter... ahh

[gothguydante]

Okay i want to fix my car lighter... but the wires are cut so short i can barely reach them trough the cd player opening is there a easier way to access them cause my frin is willing to lend me there gps for the trip to Chicago and well my lighter is broke.. and i don't' want to rip out the entire dash to get to them...

oh and i have cuts all up my hand trying to get the wires attached to new wires i don't know but there is something shap.

Maybe try taking out just the ashtray and getting to the wires from underneath.

Or get a aftermarket lighter and tap into a 12v source.

i accessed the wires thru the ashtray.take out ashtray, it's still tight,but can be done.

[gothguydante]

In my car the previos owner ran wiring from the battery directly to the lighter. With a fuse in the hot wire of course.

Take the fuse out...that way when the lighter goes you'll have a back up as the wires ignite.

okay how can i tell if it's working right i think my lighter is bad cause i got it hooked up and i used one of those tools with the light in it to see if the wires were hot and well my lighter isn't working still...
