Ford Pinto Cigarette Lighter

The Ford Pinto Cigarette Lighter is mainly designed to give the driver a little heat for lighting a cigarette while also providing a handy 12-volt outlet for powering small gadgets. Ford's de rigueur of the day was a coil and reel insert that heated up when pushed into the dashboard socket. This layout also occurred on the Pinto, and this simple spring-loaded plug popped out when its coil glowed red. As smoking habits changed, later Ford interiors retained a similar barrel-shaped socket found in the Pinto. Because of this, the plug itself was often deleted, so the same connection became a dedicated power supply for radios, chargers, or fans and not an actual Cigarette Lighter. Certain Pinto variants even labeled the socket power, reflecting its new function rather than lighter, but owners could still plug in a separately purchased heating plug. The evolution of the Cigarette Lighter followed the trends of the time. Also, each Pinto still had space for a Cigarette Lighter blank if the option was left out, meaning swapping a Cigarette Lighter insert is easy between Ford dashboards.

Ford Pinto Cigarette Lighter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove and refit a cigarette lighter on the Ford Pinto?
    A:
    Disconnect the battery ground cable and pull the cigar lighter element from the socket retainer. Reach up under the instrument panel to disconnect the wires from the lighter at their connecting plugs. Separate the two halves of the cigar lighter body by unscrewing them. Refitting is a reversal of removal.
