Cigarette lighter relay

The cigarette lighter relay is a crucial component of a car’s electrical system that provides power to the cigarette lighter and other 12V devices connected through this socket. The relay monitors and controls the electrical current to prevent overvoltages and potential damage to the car’s electrical system.

The relay is typically made from high-quality materials that ensure its longevity and resistance to mechanical and electrical damage. A faulty relay can cause the cigarette lighter to malfunction or lead to overvoltage issues that may damage connected devices.

If symptoms such as a non-functioning cigarette lighter or problems with connected devices are noticed, it may be necessary to replace the relay. Original and secondhand car parts, including cigarette lighter relays, can be purchased at auto parts stores, in auto parts catalogs, and online. Affordable parts are also available at car salvage yards.
