I just upgraded to the 97+ Center Console because my old one was broken. My car is a 95 firebird v6 and It was all fairly simple, except that I cannot figure out how to wire up the 2 cigarette lighters. The Harness that I bought from GM came with 3 wires that come out of the cigarette lighter. The 95 wires for where the lighter is however only have 2 wires. What if anything can I do here, or am I going to be stuck with 2 non-functioning cigarette lighters?

 

Can you swap the old cigarette lighter into your new console?

 

Hmm I didnt think about that. Are those pieces interchangable?

 

Borrowed from Brent Franker's website:

The new cigarette lighter uses the same clip as the old one did. There are two wires that plug into the cigarette lighter; one is orange (+) and one is black (-). Now it is time to make the auxiliary power connection. I used the existing cigarette lighter wires to power the new power port as well. There are two blade type connectors on the new power source. I spliced and soldered wires into these existing wires crimping blade female connectors onto the new ends that will plug right into the new power source. The Orange wire plugs onto the centers clip of the new power source and the Black wire plugs onto the perimeter clip.
