Two wires coming from under the armrest (pumkin and black) going into a 2-prong harness that plug into the back of the lighter.

Look for the harness. If the harness is missing but the wires are there, you need to get another harness from the junkyard and solder the harness onto the wires.

You may want to use a relay to shut off current when you shut off the ignition. Otherwise your accessory may drain the battery.

You may also want to throw a fuse between the battery and lighter.
