'88 GMC C1500 , Need a Lighter Socket, where to find?

Can't find it at NAPA , Advance , Autozone , O'Reilly's , Rockauto , GMCPartsDirect...

Does anyone have a clue where to find one before I cut the connector and install one of those universal ones?

I work at a bumper to bumper parts store, and we have tons of them. None of them are going to be factory, though. To get a factory one, you're going to have to go to a dealership.

Thats what I figured...I'll just get one of those ones that use spade connectors....I appreciate ya..Thanks...

Would a place like LMC or Year One or Goodmark have one? Or are you looking to fix without the headaches of shipping??? You could check GM Parts direct or I use Rock Auto myself.

junkyard or advanced auto should be able to order them for you because iv ordered them a million times. or if it was like mine twist the lighter socket and it should work thats what i had to do with mine.

O'Reillly's has that part here. I could only imagine that they would order it for you if all else fails.Those things are a dime a dozen.

By the way, Smoking is bad for your health.

Keep it up! We are a dying breed!

LOL , ya got that right...

I must have gone to an O'reilly's with some lazy folks...I asked and they said nope...Same at Advance Auto and Autozone..Rockauto and gmparts do not have them listed, but I have sent requests to Rockauto before for other parts and they came through...So I may do that....

It has a round snap on connector , no flat spade connectors like the newer ones..It's short with one connector in the middle...People seem confuzzled when I show it to them...

How big of a hurry you in? If need be, I can run by the local salvage yard this weekend and grab you one, send it out Monday....

Fond someone who has a catalog from the "Help" line of replacement parts. I got one for an '88 S-10 Blazer last year. Just looked until I found the one that matched according to the pic.

Andy - I'm guessing you need part #9 from the catalog, with the round connector. Let me kow what happens or where we need to go from here.

If you want the GM replacement and can't find it on the GMPartsDirect website, email them with your VIN (they're picky about it) and tell them what you need. They'll give you the part number so you can find it on their website.
