• Q: How to Service and Repair a Cigarette Lighter for Battery Negative Cable on 2000 Dodge Neon?

  A: First, cut off the connection to the battery negative cable to serve the auxiliary cigarette lighter properly. When you take out the cigarette lighter and power outlet base, observe where the retaining bosses are inside. With the external snap ring pliers, fit the curved end against the boss and squeeze them out of the base. Turn the pliers through the mounting ring to move the base out or use a specialized tool made for the job. Unhook the wires from the base, rest the base in a safe location and take away the base mount ring. Begin by putting the mount ring to the instrument panel, pass the wires through it and make sure the cap and ring are indexed to 9 o'clock with the key before you install the ring. Joint the base with the wires, making sure the base's alignment rib which should be at 11 o'clock, mates up with the corresponding spot in the mount ring. Securely push the base into the bezel, put on the cigarette lighter cap and check the function of the element.
