That tab on the side has got to be the earth so can be attached to anything metal on the chassis.

ryyt so the metal on the side connects to an earthing point and the red cable goes in which ever lead has power?

 

[north]

i tried what u said used the tab on the side and earthed it and then connected the red lead to every cable availible with absolutly no luck

do the original plugs not work?

 

[Squizza]

Should just plug in... the wiring circuit on mine was tucked behind the carpet on the drivers side of the centre console!

 

[nathan.warren69]

in the first three pictures that you posted you had the cigarette lighter plug power and the light for the cig power in your hand, cant you just connect it to them?

 

[micra 2000]

have you checked to make sure the fuse hasn't blown,why didn't you get an original lighter socket from nissan or from a scrappy instead of an aftermarket one so you could just plug it in no messing around

 

[nathan.warren69]

or the halfords after market one also plug straight in, thats what i had in my old micra

the orange/blue wire is the live, and the black is the earth, that black connector in your first picture is for the cig lighter just plug it back on. then check you fuse's

that doesnt look like an oem lighter . like micra2000 said go to a sprappy and get a different one.

Run a wire from the + and another one from the - on your cig light plug, it doesnt matter if its oem or not.
Dont forget to put a 15a fuse the nearest of the battery you can.

hey guys thanks for all your comments, the cig lighter came with the car its what was installed but i pushed too hard and it went through and it stopped working i broke it lol but i suppose good news was that i fixed my cig lighter it was just the fuse (derrr obvious thing to check) but the bad news was it then failed its MOT soo bad that i have now scrapped it i am looking for a new k11 or another car im so sad that its gone
