Replacing a cigarette lighter in a car is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. It is important to replace a cigarette lighter if it is not working properly, as it can pose a fire hazard.
The cigarette lighter in a car is typically located on the dashboard or center console. It consists of a heating element that glows when current is applied to it. When a cigarette is inserted into the lighter, the heating element ignites the tobacco. There are two main types of cigarette lighters in cars: manual and automatic. Manual lighters require the user to manually press a button to activate the heating element. Automatic lighters activate the heating element automatically when a cigarette is inserted.
