Postby Ajay » Sun Sep 09, 2007 3:05 pm

Hey Guys..

well i thought i would bling my cars cigarette lighter.. turns out it was to wide and got stuck. when i pulled it out the whole barrel came with :D yep great fun.. eventually i got it out.. and put the orignal lighter back in.. but now it doesnt actually light (meaning it doesnt click into place... nor does it heat up)..

any ideas or ways i can fix this guys?

Pop the panel underneath the steering wheel out and have a look up under there. A two-pronged plug just reattaches onto the back of the ciggy lighter. Done!
