Hello!

I recently purchased a 1983 Ford Club Wagon 350 in good working condition, although the interior is very beatup. The first thing it needs is a cigarette lighter for power. It has hole for it in the dash but it has a little plastic cover on it. I removed the dash and don't see any free wires. Where do I begin? I purchased a replacement lighter and am not sure what to do next.

Thanks !

If no wires exist, you're best bet is to find an unused fuse and use that fuse to power the lighter. You'll have to wire it yourself of course, which can be a pain to get it past the firewall and inside the vehicle. Perhaps a previous owner may have rerouted the wires to power something else.
