On my 1998 Ford taurus se stationwagon I have the drop down ashtray/cig lighter. Except the whole lighter part is missing so I have no avenue to plug in and charge my phone or such. There appears to be a small wire with an end that looks like it can plug into something. Do I just need to go buy a cig lighter unit and it just plugs into that wire?
