need help wiring my cigarette lighter
ok when i bought my car the previous owner had cut out the center section of my console which had the cubby hole and the cigarette lighter so i got another upper console the other day and noticed that i didnt have the 3 pin connector needed to plug into the back of the cig lighter, instead i had an auxilary port that he had added. So i went and got another connector to plug into the back of the lighter and i noticed that the connector i got had 3 wires coming off of it but i only have two wires ( a black one and an orange one) connecting to the aux port that he put in, i also noticed a random red wire that had been cut. So im wondering how do i hook this up, do i just need the two wires to be connected to the connector or does the red wire also go to it. Below is a pic of the aux port and the two wires going to it, you can also see the red wire which is hanging to the side

Well I wired it up and the cig lighter works however now I noticed that when I plug in anything else like a phone charger the charger will blow out..I also noticed my other charging port has the ground going to the center pin and the power going to the outer pin so since I have it the other way could that be the reason it is blowing chargers out?
