stepper motor stickey? what wire? is it under where you push the lighter down or by the fuse box?

You have to diassemble that part of the console - See DIY stickies at start of the 203 forum.

Before you do that make sure the element in the lighter has not burnt out. Check socket for power with a volt meter.
