good point, but I in looking at the cig I knew one was a ground (black wire) so the other had to be positive.

I have a thing with a light on it to test. The bulb lights up when there is complete circuit. I don't really know how to describe it. I know how to use multimeters from my days of RC racing, but I don't have one, I always just used other peoples because there were so many around
