Voltage is applied at all times to the cigar lighter through the Fuse 1 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.

The connector, located under the right hand side of the IP, contains two B+ circuits -- one supplied from Fuse 38 and the other is supplied through trhe Fuse 41 in the IP Fuse Block. A ground circuit is provided through ground G 205. A serial data communications circuit is also provided for equipment that requires the capability to communicate with control modules on the vehicle.
