[V8] Dead Cig lighter sockets in '93V8q manual

[Ed Kellock]

Hey Unka,

Once I replaced the fuse and reenabled the central locking system on
the gf's '90 v8, I was checking all the various locking thingies and
found that the trunk mech just needed some lube.  it's pretty easy to
reach and has worked great ever since.

HTH,
Ed
