Taurus V6-195 3.2L DOHC SHO (1994)
Cigarette Lighter: Description and Operation
The cigar lighter knob and element has a low resistance heating coil which operates much like the coil used in a portable heater.
-
When the cigar lighter knob and element is pushed completely into the cigar lighter socket and retainer, the circuit is closed and current flows
through the heating coil to the ground.
-
When sufficient heat is generated, the cigar lighter knob and element overcomes the spring pressure of the bimetal retaining fingers and is
released.
Ash receptacles and cigar lighter knob and element are located in the instrument panel and console panel.
