I'm planning on installing more cigarette lighters in my car. I don't know where the ground points are if anyone knows that it would be awesome if you could also answer these other questions that would be great.


What fuses are for the powered door locks and the dome lights and the door sensor?

How do I pair a new key fob to the car?


Thank you for all your help!

Check the other post for some of this. Grounds are pretty much any grounded metal. The OE points are spread around so there isn't a lot of reason to find one of them. Simply create your own and use it, just be sure it is actually grounded, there are some metal parts in vehicles that are simply supports but are not really grounded to the chassis.
Fuses are in the other post as they are part of the interior lighting system as well as the door locks.
Remote programming for that vehicle uses a scan tool to enter programming mode and activate the remote. There may be other ways such as at northcoastkeyless, but I would be very careful as some of the other methods can do damage.

Good to hear. Did you install the old round power ports or opt for the USB style?
