Cigarette Lighter - 1/4/2006 11:28:45 PM    msmiz   Posts: 12 Joined: 8/9/2005 Status: offline 1995 Honda Accord EX V6 I am not a smoker so only use the cigarette for my cell phone but now I have a portable GPS system that I plug in there. I notice the GPS plug sometimes moved loose and the connection to the GPS stopped if I hit a bump so on checking I see the ligheter fixture is loose. Is it possible to tighten this up ...so to speak.. or do I have to take it to a shop? Post #: 1

I had opened my center console while doing some stereo installtion and didn't realize I didn't tighten it up. So if yours is like mine you should be able to tighten it. _____________________________ 2000 Accord EX(R.I.P. 5-2-06) 1999 Civic LX (in reply to msmiz) Post #: 2

A lot of cell phone power plugs are slightly larger than the opening in cigarette lighters so that over time they then to spread them out. not a problem if you are only using the one device but when you try to use the lighter or another device like you GPS then you disover that the plug is now too wide spread to securely hold it. First see if it is loose side to side or just the whole assemble is loose front to back. If teh latter you can just tighten the nut on the back of the plug, if the former then you'll need a replacement plug. _____________________________ Greg Stoddard (in reply to msmiz) Post #: 3
