Where is the wire you plug your lighter into in dash of an 1985 Nissan Pulsar NX?

There isn't a standardized location for a cigarette lighter power wire across all 1985 Nissan Pulsar NX models. The location will vary slightly depending on the trim level and any aftermarket modifications.

To find it, you'll need to do some detective work:

* Visual Inspection: Carefully examine the area around where the cigarette lighter *would* be (if it were factory-equipped). Look for wires or connectors that seem unused or potentially related to a power source. Often, these wires are tucked behind the dash panel, under the radio, or near the fuse box.

* Fuse Box Check: Your owner's manual (if you have it) should show a fuse box diagram. Look for a fuse labeled "cigarette lighter," "power outlet," or something similar. Tracing the wire from that fuse is the most reliable method.

* Wiring Diagram: A wiring diagram specific to your 1985 Nissan Pulsar NX is your best bet. These can sometimes be found online through forums dedicated to classic Nissan cars, or through a repair manual. The diagram will show you exactly where the wire is routed.

* Removal of Dash Panels: This is a last resort and should only be done if you are comfortable with car disassembly. Be careful not to damage any components when removing panels.

Important Safety Note: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working with car wiring to prevent accidental shorts or electrical shock.
