maddzz1 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Is that little green ring around the cigarette lighter supposed to light up? If so, what do I need to do? Where is the bulb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkgibbs27 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 the slot where the cigarette lighter goes into lights up and the green lights up, but i think it's a single bulb doing it all. i don't know where the bulb is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Go to page 3, 4th post. I recently discovered the same thing and added the info to a previous thread about interior lights TAZ posted. Sorry about the bad camera phone pic of the bulb you are talking about. And get a 1891LL, i.e. long life, instead of a regular 1891 bulb as I mentioned. http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopi ... c&start=30 :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks, I thought i read it somewhere on here but couldnt find it with the search (probally because cigareete was abreviated). So I just have to remove the trim around the dash cluster access it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88XJSport Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If you don't have the light, you will first need the bracket that holds the bulb to the outside of the lighter. Once you get the bracket, clip it to the slots around the lighter, and plug it into the vacant plug somewhere in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yes, just unscrew and remove the dash bezel and the cig lighter "pod" just unscrews. Super easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfg67 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Can anyone help me to get the green ring around the Cigar Lighter to work? As you can see from the images below, there is a wire with a light socket receptacle in the Cigar Lighter assembly. The light socket receptacle is hot when the dash lights are on and my Cigar lighter is functioning. I removed the good 1181 bulb from the back of the clock assembly and inserted it into the light socket receptacle and it does not light-up. I also added an image of a similar styled bulb. It has a flat bottom with a metal contact on either side. What do I need to do to make this work? Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbliley Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 You need the ground. There is a small piece that holds the bulb on socket and creates the ground. It also directs the light to the green ring. I don't have a pic handy right now but can get one in a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 look at my link above for pics, but it does not look like you have the cylinder that holds the light. it clips on to the cig lighter and has a metal sleeve with just a hole at the end that directs the light inside your cig lighter and around the green trim. the metal to metal of the sleeve clipped to the cig lighter housing acts as the ground, i.e. it will not light up when unclipped from the cig lighter.

robfg67 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I figured something was missing. I'll be at the old boneyard tomorrow to strip one out of a Cherokee. WahooSteeler, I love your picture-the first Smokey movie is a classic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
