I need a cigarette lighter to charge cell phone etc so i got a lighter and every time i hook it up it blows the fuse. The factory plug has 4 wires wht, blk, two reds? which ones do i use? i ve been in the junkyard all day and couldnt find any consoles with cigarette lighters so has anyone just wired it themselves to a autozone lighter? Are all cigarette lighters the same? could i have got the wrong one?

Have a extra one lying around. You can have it, just pay shipping, around 4.00-5.00 USPS. Email me oldcar@***.net if your interested. There should be a white plug that plugs into the back of the lighter and a ground wire that slides onto a metal post, sort of.
THanks, Mario

how hard is it to wire a hot and a negative, the other two are for the back light

So the universal one isn't working out?

I've thought about installing one in my car since it didn't come with one either.

not yet maybe i got the wrong one but i figured they would all be the same? or i got the wires wrong?

swap the wires and see what happens, can't do anything but blow another fuse
