Default Wiring Help

Putting together my interior finally (1980) and I completely forgot that I had to figure out where some wires went.

There are 3 cut wires. Orange, green, and a black wire (ground) (pic below).

They are powered by the CTSY fuse. I think they’re for the cigarette lighter but I’m not sure how they connect

The orange and black are for the Cig lighter. There should be a big ring terminal on the black one. Not sure about the green one, my 79 doesn't have it.

That’s the part that has me stumped. The manual shows a ring and 1 post connection for the power wire but my cig lighter has 2 posts. Not the original I guess?

Looks like a generic after market lighter. The terminal on the side is the ground. You can connect the black lead to that if you don't have the big ring terminal.

Thank you. Time to dig through the book and find out where that green wire goes...
