Can a cigarette lighter be used in a Nissan Rogue?
The outlet and plug may be hot during or immediately after use. Only certain power outlets are designed for use with a cigarette lighter unit. Do not use any other power outlet for an accessory lighter. See your NISSAN dealer for additional information. Do not use with accessories that exceed a 12 volt, 120W (10A) power draw.
How can I get a cigarette lighter socket out of my car?
Fortunately, removing the socket is a relatively easy process that doesn’t require mechanical experience or many tools. To start, shut off the car and fuse to stop power from reaching the lighter. Then, you can get a socket out of the dashboard or the lower half of your vehicle by removing interior panels.
Can a cigarette lighter be turned off while the car is running?
Turn off the car’s engine using the ignition key. As long as you have your key out of the ignition, you are fine. Don’t try touching the lighter wires or the fuses while the car is running. Make sure the radio isn’t running since the cigarette lighter socket often shares a fuse with the other components in the middle of your car.
What are the plugs on a cigarette lighter?
It is often gray, but it might be a different color in your car. The plug always has a pair of wires, green and black, that make it recognizable. Some cigarette lighter sockets have 2 different plugs. One plug on the side holds the green ground wire while the other plug in the center holds the black power wire.
