Neither my wife or I smoke and no one has ever smoked in our car. On separate occasions, both of us have smelled cigarette smoke in the car.

We have a 2006 Ford Taurus with 78k miles. We purchased the car as a program car from the original dealership with 22k miles.

Do you smell it when you turn your heater on? If yes, you might be mistaking the smell of hot antifreeze from the heater core for cigarette smell. It could also be mold buildup in the ductwork for the heater and A/C.

I am hooking up a cigarette lighter that is always hot. I pulled it out of a Geo Storm 92 and am hooking it up to wiring of my own design. I am inclined to believe that the cylinder is negative and the point at the end is positive.

Yup the center point is the positive. All the lighter outlets are the same its the wiring that makes them hot all the time or kill with the keyswitch.

My car’ cigarette lighter doesnt work. What could be the possible issues and how to reolve them ?

When the cigarette lighter lightens ? Do we have to push any button for it to lighten

you have to push the lighter in all the way then when it gets hot it will pop out. if it,s not hot then the filament might be burnt out.
