Voltage is applied at all times to the cigar lighter through the CIG LTR fuse in the 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.

An auxiliary power outlet is provided adjacent to the cigar lighter to power customer owned and maintained equipment. Voltage is applied at all times to the auxiliary outlet through the AUX/CNSL fuse in the fuse block and the auxiliary power feed circuit. A ground circuit is also provided as a portion of this same outlet.

An auxiliary power drop connector is also provided for the installation of various types of accessories that require a more permanent type of connection. The connector is located under the right hand side of the IP. The connector contains two B+ circuits. One of the circuits is supplied from the CIG LTR fuse in the fuse block. The other circuit is supplied through the PWR DROP fuse in the fuse block. A ground circuit is provided through ground G200. A serial data communications circuit is also provided for equipment that requires the capability to communicate with control modules on the vehicle.

Voltage is supplied when the ignition switch is in RUN, BULB TEST and START through the PWR DROP fuse in the fuse block.

Ground is also supplied to the auxiliary power drop connector.
