Cigar Lighters and Auxiliary Power Outlet

Battery positive voltage (B+) is applied at all times to the cigar lighters and auxiliary power outlet through rear junction block fuses (refer to schematic). When a cigar lighter is pressed in, the cigar lighter beating element is provided a ground path and heats up. When the heating element reaches a predetermined value, the cigar lighter will pop up, thus interrupting the circuit. The auxiliary power outlet is active when an electrical accessory is plugged into the outlet.
