Cigar Lighter

Voltage is applied at all times to the front IP cigar lighter through the Fuse E5-E6, Fuse G3-G4 for the LR cigar lighter and Fuse G1-G2 for the RR cigar lighter in the IP Fuse Block and the cigar lighter feed circuit. The cigar lighter has a heating element. Pushing the cigar lighter all of the way into the mounting completes the circuit to ground through the cigar lighter ground and heats the cigar lighter heating element. When the element is sufficiently heated, the cigar lighter is released from the mounting through thermal expansion of the mounting and the circuit is opened.

Ground circuit is provided to the front IP cigar lighter through ground G 200 and through ground G 301 for the rear cigar lighters.

Power Drop Connector

An power drop connector is also provided for the installation of various types of accessories that require a more permanent type of connection. The connector, located under the right hand side of the IP, contains two B+ circuits -- one supplied from the Fuse J5-J6 and the Fuse E5-E6 in the IP Fuse Block. A ground circuit is provided through ground G 200. A serial data communications circuit is also provided for equipment that requires the capability to communicate with control modules on the vehicle.

Voltage is applied at all times through the Fuse E5-E6 in the IP Fuse Block.

Voltage is supplied when the ignition switch is in ACCY or RUN to the power drop connector through the Fuse E5-E in the IP Fuse Block.
