E 250 Van V8-7.3L DSL Turbo VIN F (1995)
Cigarette Lighter: Description and Operation
The cigar lighter element has a low resistance heating coil which operates much like the coil used in a portable heater.
When the element is pushed completely in, the circuit is closed and current flows through the heating coil to the ground. When sufficient heat is
generated, the element will overcome the spring pressure of the bimetal retaining fingers and be released.
Instrument panel ash receptacles and cigar lighter knob and elements are located in the center of the instrument panel.
