check your fuse, if fuse is good most likely the socket, or if the lighter is used often it can also fail.
The cigarette lighter / pwer socket is a constant hot socket. In most cars you can use this power socket at all times. It is best to remove anything(except the cigarette lighter) from this socket when the car is off.
The fuse is ok but the lighter won't work.
If you can charge a cellphone in the lighter socket, then the lighter is no good. If a cellphone won't charge, then the lighter cylinder is no good. Both are available at any autoparts store.
Usually you unscrew the backing part on the lighter that holds it to the console.
There is no cigarette lighter. Great for me because I never smoked
The socket is
The Cigarette lighter socket needs replaced. Is this an easy task? Also , can the new socket be just a standard or special socket for the Mercedes? Thanks. Ed
8 --------- I own a 2006 Dodge Stratus, and I also had a problem with my cigarette lighter socket. I located the exact fuse by accident the other day. -The owner's manual DOES NOT specify a fuse for the cigarette lighter. -The internal fuse box cover DOES NOT specify a fuse for the cigarette lighter. (This fuse box is located below and to the left of the steering wheel. Access by opening the driver door, then pull the cover off to reveal the fuse box. The fuse diagram is under the cover.) -The fuse for the cigarette lighter is located in ANOTHER FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD next to the positive (red) jumper cable terminal. Remove the cover by pinching the tabs inward. The cigarette lighter fuse is a 20 amp fuse on the bottom row.
first i would check the fuse, then try a different lighter in socket, if neither of these remedies problem ginna have to take dash apart to remove socket and see what is wrong
To change Honda jazz cigarette lighter socket fuse you need to disconnect the 2P connectors from the cigarette lighter (A) and cigarette lighter light (B) (if equipped).Inspect the connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
use the cigarette lighter as as a socket
