What This Product Does:
Acts as the 12-volt accessory / lighter socket in the vehicle’s center console or dashboard — allowing a lighter to heat or more commonly now to serve as an accessory power outlet. 

Symptoms / Signs It Needs Replacement:

• The lighter element no longer heats or works when pushed in.
• The socket fails to provide power, i.e. no voltage at the accessory outlet.
  
• Loose fit or poor contact with accessory plugs (the plug wiggles or loses connection).
  
• The socket is burnt, corroded, or damaged internally.
  
• The bezel or housing around the lighter is cracked, broken, or loose.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Restores functionality for 12V accessories, which many modern drivers rely on (phone chargers, USB adapters, etc.).
  
• Prevents electrical faults or shorts, which might occur if the socket is damaged or corroded.
  
• Ensures clean and secure connections, avoiding intermittent power loss to devices.
  
• Maintains interior aesthetics and Original Equipment appearance — a proper OEM socket matches the console design.
  
• A broken or weak socket can overheat or damage plugs — replacing with a good socket reduces risk.
