Re: Cig lighter DOA ! Steps to finding power? 1 2 3 ?
So I checked the brass rivet in the bottom of the lighter with a test light and had power with the key on of course. ..BUT that brass rivet looks like it is missing something because I have to put my probe a few mm into the rivet to get the power. I also have a silver piece with a rivet in the middle of it that had fallen out of its spot which I assume to goes in horizontally and I snapped it back into place from some utube video I watched. BUT the brass circle on the shiny clip is not touching the center brass and let me tell you, I pushed and wiggled my Valinetine detectors power plug and got nothing. I even took the shiny tab out in hopes that it would work. If I could buy a new one for 20 bucks , I would jump all over it. It seems like the entire lighter is loose and sorta wants to come out. I look inside the hole of my F-150 lighter and it does not look like ours at all. As far as power source goes I bought a 3 wide cig outlet that I was thinking about hard wiring and placing in the large glove box just to have it.
