Finally found an original one on eBay. Vehicle has been converted to 12v. And the lighter is originally 6v. Will it work on the 12v system?
Thanks for any advice----------Weed Wacker | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yes, it'll work .....once  but the element should thread off the knob, and you can get a 12V element from most parts stores Bill | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,771 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,771 | It will heat up very quickly- - - -almost a dead short- - - -better to get a 12V replacement if possible.
