I vaguely recall someone mentioning to me once that there was an AD
regarding cigarette lighters in Cessna 172s of some vintage. But I've
searched around trying to find this (including at the FAA web site), and
have failed.


Anyone have pointers (or is this perhaps an "urban myth")?


Thanks...

It is an AD that applies to the Piper PA22 I own. The cigar lighter in
all three 100 series Cessnas I have owned were disconnected per a
Cessna Service Bulletin (never became an AD AFIK)


Then what powers your 396?

A 1A circuit breaker off the avionics bus, installed and logged as a
minor mod . The avionics master and split bus were also installed and
logged as a minor mod before I got the airplane. The Cigar Lighter
was also repowered via an added breaker in the Pacer, and via an in-
line fuse in the Cessna, also logged as a minor mod with AP signoff.
