Cigarette Lighter in Dash

[Ranger4x4.0]

No, I don't smoke. Okay maybe a little but don't tell my mother!

Long story short my drunken step-father stuck his finger in it and broke it after I told him it will break and he just knew everything about cigarette lighters and twisted it and snapped the plastic. I cried a little because nothing is, or was, broke interior-wise.

My lighter is in my dash, and yes, I've looked kinda sorta everywhere on this topic with no solution or at least none that I really understood. I looked for a bezel with the 4x4 switch at a few JY's and I only found one and it was broke too. I heard of the epoxy thing, but I don't understand how to do it. Could someone elaborate the basics on how to do it? Is there another easy solution?

You gotta keep your eyes open at junk yards as they break so easy. I use mine alot, not because I smoke (I never have and never will), but because I use it to charge my phone a lot.


I epoxied mine and it sorta worked.. not really. IDK if this is a part that can be bought new or not...

Yeah, I don't smoke much. Maybe 3 a day cuz I'm quitting, but I use it alot to charge my phone and the other one just doesn't work (the one with the cap). I will try the epoxy.
