[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 2291870, member: 23516"] Cig lighters are a super easy fix on the MB Sprinters. I could show you how to fix it in 2 seconds but couldn't put it into words for all the tea in China. There's a one-size-fits-all for any vehicle. Buy a cig lighter at a parts store. Pull a fuse from the fusebox; choose one that always has a current when the ignition is on. Get a couple of pieces of wire (regular ol' speaker wire works fine). Cut the ends off of the 2 pieces of wire and strip about an inch or so of insulation off of each end. Wrap one end around the positive (or "hot") terminal on the lighter and wrap the other end around the fuse blade and put it back into the fusebox. Wrap one end of the other wire around the ground terminal of the lighter and ground the other end. It will be ugly, it will be messy... but if you MUST have it, it works. This also works for anything else that only needs a hot wire and a ground wire. The other option is a portable charger. They're cheap these days. [/QUOTE]
