dunl Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Okay, I had to take the lighter apart today to clean it, so I thought I'd check this too. I found the or/blk pigtail....where does it connect to, and where does the light actually come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 anyone, before I put it back together? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritas4156 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I haven't taken one apart in a few months but I'm pretty sure the orange and black pigtail connects to a 194 bulb on cherokees that sits up against the ring to light it. Mine didn't have the light so I grabbed one from a junkyard and used the cherokee one instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 When rooting around behind the dash of a Jeep, it is pretty safe to assume an orange wire is for back lighting. Always double check though :smart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 I put a 194 into the plug, but it didn't seem to light up the bluish ring very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Did you just lay the light behind it or do you have the little holder that hooks onto the lighter? :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The freekin "cigar lighter" was an option on the base models. The wiring is there, but not the bulb holder/housing to plug it into. I got mine at the yard.

Well actually, I figured a pic would better describe what I would have confused him on trying to explain it, so I ran out to the garage to snap a quick one. I just knew I had one laying around and wouldn't you know it, out of six of them, not one had the lamp holder. So I had to take out the one in the truck as it was now a mission to get the pic. :shake: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Aye. Above and beyond. :cheers: I was going to try to explain it, but your pic was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comanche09 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Cool, my cigar lighter doesn't look to have a ring around it for light though(factory '88 Pioneer). I did grab the pigtail and light for the ashtray light though and it has a blue sheath around the bulb. While we're talking about lighting. My MJ had No (working) interior lights when I bought it... Since then I have installed: - XJ Footwell lights - GM Mirror Map lights - Lighted Vanity Sunvisors (matching color with NP242 operating tag) - Ashtray light - Adv Auto parts B-pillar lights - Transfer case indicator light - OEM clock and backlight bulb - Twillight Sentinel Bright as hell at night now :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
