  Most often the element screws on to the handle. You can probably buy just
the element. Most are the same diameter, but the length can be different. Get
one too short and it won't make contact in the bottom of the receptacle and
won't light. Bring the old one with you when shopping. Places like WalMart
have them, but normally you have to buy the whole thing...less than $5.00

    Hi All,

    I know it is not the most important part by a long shot...but it is the
last
    instrument/switch on my dash that does not work. I spent way too much
time
    repairing the outer case and rewiring, yet it still did not work. I then
    tested the in-dash element by plugging in my cell phone charger and that
lit
    up like a christmas tree....so that part is fine. The problem must be the
    knob/push in element that has the heating coil. Unless there is something
I
    can do to repair that it appers I will need to replace that part at a
    minimum.

    So....anybody have a Tiger Cigar Lighter sitting around...or know where to
get
    one? I am not sure if Alpine and Tiger lighters were the same, if so an
Alpine
    lighter would also fit. I have been searching ebay and the internet w/o
    success. I know I can probably get a modern replacement from auto-zone or
a
    similar place, but I am trying to stay original.

    Thanks,
