Car Forum / Honda Cars / April 2005Cigarette lighter glow ring
I only use my '94 Accord's cigarette lighter for powering the Belkin FM/MP3 adapter and the glowing ring around the lighter's hole comes handy at night. However, it does not always glow when the other instrument lights do. I could not figure out exactly the pattern of its working, but I suspect it might be controlled by some sensor or timer I don't know about. Anybody could perhaps clue me in on it? I already thought about a loose contact, BTW. Thanks, Rudy it is supposed to come on with dash lights >I only use my '94 Accord's cigarette lighter for powering the Belkin FM/MP3 >adapter and the glowing ring around the lighter's hole comes handy at [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thanks, > Rudy > it is supposed to come on with dash lights That's what I thought, too. Interestingly, after I posted that message and drove out, the ring did glow continuously while the lights were on. I'll be watching for it again tonight. Rudy > it is supposed to come on with dash lights OK, last night I watched that light closer and I noticed that quite often it would come on only as I was trying to push in that Belkin adapter plug, about the time the plug touched the outer perimeter of that lighter hole. Strange! As if some kind of proximity detector (condenser effect?) was in there that would turn on the glow ring. Rudy Jesus... haven't you opened that lighter by now and see if there are loose connections in there?

Jesus, John, you know how much work it is to get to the other side of that cigarette lighter? I would not do that just for that issue alone. I'll wait when something else also comes up, like with the radio, that makes it worth my while to do that. That glow ring alone is not enough for it. Especially when I don't even know how it is supposed to work. Rudy |
