[DeTomaso] A new Pantera trivia topic: cigarette lighter

[Charles Engles]

Dear Forum,

 

 

                 I thought I would bring up a new topic since the blossom
may be off the rose of the Dipstick mystery.

 

 

                 During preparations for the Road to Phoenix, I  found that
the cigarette lighter does not have power for the CB.   Using all of my
remedial electrical skills and knowledge, I have power all the way to the
connections to the lighter plug near the ashtray.   It would seem to me that
the cigarette lighter socket is shot.    While I know that the Pantera
electrical system is not the most robust, I don't recall hearing that the
lighter sockets are particularly fragile.    I am going to hard wire a fix
around the dead socket so I should have communications.    Has anyone else
had their cigarette lighter go up in figurative "smoke"?

 

 

                             Curious, but still working on the Pantera,
Chuck Engles
