The hot lead to the cig is connected to an empty fuse location (open
circuit).

The ground lead to the cig is connected to the car ground.

I'm not sure what the heck is in-between the two that would somehow connect
them together, even "a little bit", other than something wired in /parallel/
somewhere.
