What the heck are these wires? November 02, 2010, 11:41:30 AM Is this the stock wiring for the cig lighter in a consolette car?I don't know what it was attached to, ever since I got the car those have been stuffed back there and my stock ashtray and lighter were replaced with aftermarket wiring long before me. But it looks to me like thats what those would have connected to... Quote Selected

What the heck are these wires? Reply #6 – November 02, 2010, 04:36:48 PM Yep,on the back of the lighter,you'll see a threaded post and a spade. They are self explanatory after you see them. Quote Selected

I'll probably check it in the morning. My batteries dead anyway so its not a big deal but it would be nice to know... Heck, I might even hook it all back up to the lighter that's in there if it does indeed have power! Quote Selected
What the heck are these wires? Reply #13 – November 03, 2010, 04:15:45 PM Oh yeah, its hot. It actually blew the bulb up in my tester. I hope that was do to a cracked bulb. I think I'm going to reconnect it to my lighter. It'll be nice to have the stock wiring in place for it. I just wish I'd known about it before I started rewiring my car:hick: Quote Selected
