The Cigar Lighter is usually first choice as a power source when looking to hook up accessories and the harness or connections could have been tapped, cut or disconnected almost anywhere by a PO.

The relay is located in the RH heelboard.

If you have power here it's then down to tracing forwards to check for continuity to the Cigar Lighter or running a new RK (Red/Pink) supply.

There is an extra factor, the relay has a fuse for the feed to the cigar lighter,but also has a fuse which enable the relay (you expect other electrical items to have failed in that case as the fuse is common to a number of things)
