nahh,
the cig (rear lug) goes to the fuse.

never look at fuse , measure them .
some only have a tiny crack and they are in fact open.
a continuity test never lies.


as an alternate you could put a volt meter this way.

neg. lead to ground
meter to 20v range.
pos. lead to both sides of fuse, if on side of fuse is 0v , then fuse is bad.
despite its looks.

the VM never lies.
it is still dont work, then you have been hacked,
many car has the CIG wire hijacked, so the car schematic is no longer valid, cute huh?

the fuse says CIG right on it. IIRC.

if you need the schematic just hollar.
