Cigar lighter receptacle fix
Posted: November 24, 2015, 9:36 pm
When my lighter quit working I went to my parts stash and found another original and a china made one from DC. The original did not work either, and the new one did not come with a light and was inferior.
Thanks to Paul (Toyz) who explained what was going on.
This is my fix for the blown fuse, that Paul identified on the end of the receptacle.
I neglected to take pictures of the one I installed so I rebuilt my spare in order to post it.
First I dismantled and wire brushed all parts.
all the parts involved
dash light for lighter
This is the sulfur fuse I discarded
The order things came apart
Fuse holder,ring connector and shrink wrap since I ran out of insulated blue ring connector.
Ring connector attached to post old fuse used to screw on to.
Final assembly
