Man I have a lot to learn. I changed the lighter on my 66 f 100 just like that and got it working but couldnt get the cable back on. I left it for awhile came back and the lighter knob melted! Somehow it stayed on. It wasnt clicked in. I dont know what happened. Im lucky I didnt burn it down 4:17
The housing is threaded up against the metal dash, which is ground source, so there's no need to ground the housing. However, if this housing was being installed in a different car where it wasn't mounted to a metal location, one would want to put a ground wire on the tab you mentioned so the circuit could be completed when using the cigarette lighter. :)
Thx for recording and shared the video!!
No problem!
Thanks sooooo much
You're welcome!

Great video thanks. Also the connection has a option.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking :-)
You're good, the lighter works now. :)

Don't sweat it, I'm still learning stuff every day. :)
There is an extra tab on the back of the lighter socket, is that for a ground wire? Does thi need to be grounded?
Correct, it is recommended that you attach a ground wire there as the grounding through the lighter housing into the dash may not be sufficient. :)
@@AndyKruseChannel Thank You!
is the other tab a ground hookup?
on the housing....

That ground tab can be used for a new radio.

Soaking in vinegar will remove rust
It's always good to hear new ways to solve a problem. :)
Did you light a cigar to celebrate? 😂
No, it was kind of a silly replacement as I don't need the lighter to work. However, if I ever need the lighter receptacle to work, I'm covered. :)
