Power Outlet Relay: Description

The power outlet / cigar lighter relay is an electromechanical device that switches fused battery current to the cigar lighter or power outlet when the ignition switch is turned to the Accessory or On positions. The power outlet / cigar lighter relay is located in the junction block, below the driver side of the instrument panel in the passenger compartment.

The cigar lighter relay is a International Standards Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions.

The cigar lighter relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
