12 v socket

Post by galligan3103 »

P reg corsa. I have discovered that my car doesnt have a 12v socket and was wondering if it is supposed to have one? The hole is there beside the ashtray but there are no wires for it and am thinking the astray has been put in as a replacement. Reason i am asking is because i know not everycar had one back in the day.

The poverty spec corsa did not come standard with a cig lighter

Should just be a gromit which will pull out and the wires are taped up in the loom behind radio somwhere,

Its a simple 10 min job to retro fit one
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
