Re: Looking for part

In my father's 89 90q, the lighter socket went bad. Since he uses it for a
phone and bought a radar jammer (the detector is battery powered), we had a
3 socket unit installed in the pocket next to the e-brake handle. It is
pretty discrete and now he can use all of those distracting devices we
scorn. These are pretty cheap and available at most Radio Shacks.
