I believe that 2nd terminal will be for a ground. If you are putting the cig lighter in the original dash location though you shouldn't have to worry about it because it is self grounding. Or at least should be. If that don't work will then Hook up a simple ground.

Did'nt some lighters have one wire for power and another wire for a light?(so you could see where to put it back)....then grounded to the dashboard.
Might be thinking Pontiac here......but you know GM!

Yes, many of the Cigar Lighters had a light. If you still have the stock wires on the lighter socket, the red is the lighter power, and the green is the light, wire it to the 'lights' section in the fuse box, the stock box had that, and I'm sure your after market one does too...if it does not, you could get the light's power from the heater controll panel light.
