Cigarette Lighter: Service and Repair

CIGARETTE LIGHTER / REPLACEMENT







CAUTION:
All SRS wire harnesses are covered with yellow insulation. Before you disconnect any part of an SRS wire harness, disconnect the airbag connectors.

Whenever the ignition switch is ON, or has been turned OFF for less than three minutes, be careful not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.

For additional precautions, refer to SRS Service Precautions.
