You have throttle body injection which is better than carb for a list of reasons.

More consistent mixture for all cylinders. Better response to power needs. Better fuel economy. Less adjustments needed.

the harness should have the connector for the cig lighter, but it's much better to just give up smoking....

The wiring is there behind the panel, but if you salvage a lighter from a wrecker you can probably even get the factory trim panel so you can make it look like your truck always had the lighter.

And Pharaohabq I gotta defend the new guy.... he may not be a smoker...it could be a 12 volt power source for a converter, an I-pod, a plug in coffee cup...or it could be for other nafarious things.. (jk)
