Cigarette Lighter Doesn't Work

[dsbear2002]

I have a 1992 Caprice that was recently stolen from me. After I got it back, they removed the ashtray. Purchased new one, but I found that the connecting wires for power had also been removed and none are present under the dashboard to connect the ashtray. Would I have to cut the wires from another caprice and figure out where the go exaclty or what? How can i fix this? Do i need an electrician to look at it, or do the power wires plug into a molex connector of some sort under the dashboard? Replies will be very much appreciated,thank you.

The lighter is usually always wired to be hot, so you can just get some wire, and find a constant power source (Battery) and ground, and wire it up to the lighter. Be sure not to forget a fuse.
