Mercury Bobcat Cigarette Lighter

The Bobcat Cigarette Lighter located inside Mercury vehicles provides drivers with a power point in their car which originally started off as a way to light tobacco. Further, it evolved into a plug. The Cigarette Lighter, a round-shaped heater coil, sits in a barrel-like socket close to the dash, providing a quick push-in pop-out action to light up a cigarette for earlier Bobcat models. The addition of new 12-volt component sockets to the Mercury offering led to the classic Mercury look continuing as a core offering, but with less emphasis on the driver. Instead, owners can now power their portable players, GPS units, and chargers in that same opening. While more recent Bobcat installations replaced the usual heating element with a dedicated cap for a power outlet, the socket itself remains compatible with a normal Cigarette Lighter insert, allowing the driver to seamlessly switch between lighting and charging duties in mere seconds. The main difference is function rather than form. The older style, the coil type, is only for ignition while the newer component style can maintain a steady flow of electricity to electrical devices. For decades, the Cigarette Lighter has remained a minor but versatile cabin feature linking every Mercury Bobcat. The reliability helped Mercury to keep the Cigarette Lighter as a companion.

Mercury Bobcat Cigarette Lighter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How to remove and refit a cigarette lighter on the Mercury Bobcat?
    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.
