Cigarette Lighter Wiring

[Cupman29]

Can anyone confirm the wiring to the cigarette lighter? I want to use this for my gauges but am unsure of what the 3 wires are. I know 2 of them are for Live feed and earth but whats the 3rd?

I need a switched earth so hope the 3rd wire is that.

Cheers.

The third is for the light around the socket.

Cheers Mark. That will be a switched live then. Just cant remember if the main feed is or not.

Anyone know what fuse number the socket is?

There is no permanent live going the cigar lighter so just going to use the stereo as its not there any more. Got a wiring diagram off the web.

I did mine from the wiring behind the clock / temp display.
