Trying to run to cigar lighter.

Cigar lighters are high amperage circuits and require being fused
properly or else you are going to let the smoke out of the wires and believe that's not a good thing... On your fuse block there will most likely be a circuit that is open and allow you to wire in a cigar lighter... the wiring should be at minimun 10 to 12 gauge
not 14 or 16 gauge (14, 16 too small, can't carry a load) and fused by at least a 20 amp circuit... good luck

Run A hotwire direct from fusebox (be sure to have ad. inline fuse for your switch and rund a good ground to body. Should have no problems at all
