I just bought a 2005 F150 and the cigarette lighter and socket were gone. I bought a new socket and lighter but the socket requires a connector that has been cut off. I have 3 wires and the socket has 3 pins. I can solder on jumpers but I don't know what color goes where. Can anybody help?

 

Get a pic of the plug and the wires then we'll compare

 

Thanks man. I will get a pic tonight and email it to you.

 

Not sure what 3 wires you are talking about, the cigar lighter and the power point only have 2 wires each.

cigar lighter :
+ : brown w/ pink stripe wire
- : black

Front power point :
+ : Violet w/ orange stripe
- : black

 

That may be exactly what I need, I am not sure because the previous owner cut off the connector and spliced a keyless entry system to 2 of the 3 wires in the bundle that went to the cigarette lighter that has 3 terminals. Thanks

 

Not 100% sure if you are looking at the cigar plug or not.

Here is a picture from my '06 Lariat SCrew, the 2 cam lock connectors are for the EATC control panel, and the beige connector is for the cigar lighter.

 

3rd wire might be an illumination wire best way to check is with a DMM and testing the wires to eliminate the one you don't need

 

Thanks guys, I got it figured out. I appreciate the help. I found a neighbor down the street who had a 2005 F150 and he let me pop his center panel out. My neighbor's truck had the same wiring and I was able to use his as a reference. I have a blue/white, a blue/pink, and a black all hooked to the cigarette lighter. No 2 pins have continuity. Not sure what the third wire is for. If anybody out there has those colors and needs to know where they go I will be glad to email it to anybody.
