I've read in haynes where it is but still cant find it... Mine works intermittently (as evidenced by the green light going on and off on my cell phone charger in the cigar plug) Thanks!

You do realize that the cigar lighter is just that... for a cigar meaning its bigger than a normal lighter. I had the same problem for a while. Radio shack sells a 1 male / 2 female (y) adapter. the end is slightly larger than normal and fits perfect in the disco. the 2 female ends are the correct size for everything else. Of cource I could be 100% wrong and the ground wire may be loose. If that is the case than I am sorry for insulting you. And i do not know where the ground for it is either. Hope this helps. -Tony   Bill Howell (Billh13) Member Username: Billh13 Post Number: 120 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2003 - 10:37 pm:    Tony, thats sounds just like mine. My lighter does the same as Hunters. Can't keep the cell phone charger on. I'm going to measure tonight and see how much differance in my wifes and mine there is.   Tommy Dougherty (Skydiver) Member Username: Skydiver Post Number: 134 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 04:51 am:    You could just run another ground if you're concerned about it. -Tommy   Hunter Louis (Hglouis) Member Username: Hglouis Post Number: 43 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 05:06 pm:    thanks tony but it's not the size of the appliance, i've used the cell phone charger for a year and now it's intermittent. so, does anyone know where the native ground is? if i get no answers, i'll to what skydiver says thanks, hunter   Hunter Louis (Hglouis) Member Username: Hglouis Post Number: 47 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 09:24 pm:    must be the same ground as my e-brake light too because it's flickering now...ah lucas. hunter   Robbie Donaldson (Robbie) Senior Member Username: Robbie Post Number: 384 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:45 am:    e-brake light flickering may actually be because of low brake fluid.
