Cigarette Lighter: Testing and Inspection

^ Take out the plug, and check for a worn edge on the element spot connection, and for shreds of tobacco or other material on the element.
^ Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity of the element.

CAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET AS AUXILIARY POWER SOURCE:
1. When using a "plug-in" type of accessory, do not use anything with a load of more than 120W.

2. It is recommended that only the lighter be inserted in the receptacle.
Use of "plug-in" type accessories may damage the receptacle and result in poor retention of the lighter.
NOTE:
The specified load should be strictly observed, because overloaded cord burns the ignition switch and harness.
