Well i can't help any more then - sorry. Unless sparking the wires together has blown the fuse.... gd luck.

cig lighter did work. yer need ignition on, put red and black wires together and thers a spark.

Are you sure the cigarette lighter works? IE do you need the ignition on/has the fuse blown?

on the instructions it says wire the yellow wire from the switch to the positive circuit and the black wire from invertor to an earth.
i have two wires from the cig lighter. ive tried all different combinations and cant seem to get them working at all. :boggle:

On the back of the cigarette lighter there are 2 wires :| the one which goes to the middle is possitive and the one which goes to the side is negative :| (if there's a third little skinny wire just ignore it...)

which is where?

You earth to the body of the car. If you look to the right of the drivers footwell there may well be an earthing point. Alternativly just use the earch on the cigarette lighter.

where could i earth it to? or do i just use the black wire?

Ive told you :|

i need to ask someone whose wired them up to the cig lighter before. all i need to know is which is live and what to use as earth

Are you talking about the wires which go to the back of the lighter? like in the dash? If so - just look where they go, one will to to the centre and one will be on the side.... I would imagine the red is possitive but vauxhall do have a habbit of using colours randomly so i wouldnt like to say....
