On certain vehicles, the cigarette lighter is located close to the floorboard where an object on the floor may inadvertently hold the cigarette lighter in. The lighter circuit breaker only protects the circuit on the first event. Subsequent events result in overheating with the possibility of a dash fire. Correction: A cigarette lighter element with a peripheral ring and push button will be installed plus a fuse will replace the circuit breaker.
