I installed a stereo in my 89 4R yesterday. It's in and wired correctly. Not hard at all. Problem is I unhooked the cig lighter, didn't mark the wires then cut some ends off wires to move to other wires. There were two sets of (12v constant, 12v switched, ground.) Now I have no idea how to hook it back up. I assume it gets 12v switched and a ground but does the juice go into the very back of the lighter or on the side where the push tab is?

While the dash is all open I'd like to add another powerpoint and move my window lock switch to the empty dash slot, but this lighter thing is pissing me off. I'm an idiot.


Oh and yes I searched. I only found help adding another powerpoint not help in fixing stupid mistakes.

 

Lighter power is switched 12 volts and the other 12 volt feed is typically for the illumination ring around the lighter.

 

The center conductor of the lighter is switched 12v, the outer conductor is ground, and if it's lighted there will be a third wire to connect to the instrument lighting.
