Cigar lighter wiring

[KiwiDave]

I have delved into the dark art that is wiring and electrickery. The lighter has a power wire with a female bullet connector that fits on the end of this rather bent male connector and a black earth with a spade connector


There is another black wire with an odd shaped bullet type connector


So far as I can tell, the only logical place for this to go is between a couple of retainer guides ....




And into here. Maybe an earth for the factory cassette player?


Or I could be completely wrong Suggestions anyone?

Also. is there a way of removing the lighter assembly to replace with a more modern edition?

The inner part of the lighter should just unscrew from the outer surround of the lighter, it is normally hard as they corrode together, if you can put your thumb inside & then from the rear turn the outer, a spray of magic releasing fluid should help.

If I remember right that's the light for the ashtray.... a sort of fibre optic type lead.... turn your lights on and have a look

Bonus points awarded Ian. I've just pulled out my spare facia. My current one is missing the orange 'filter'.
