Replace: Fuse Socket Element

Usually you unscrew the backing part on the lighter that holds it to the console.

Gain access to the rear of the socket. Unplug the wires from the rear. Unscrew the housing and the socket will come out the front.

A inoperable cigarette lighter can be a significant problem and safety hazard, as the lighter negates the need to fiddle with a small hand-held lighter will driving. Repairing the lighter in a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier calls for inspecting a number of different components to the lighter and attempting to repair each one at the sign of damage or failure. If no steps can fix the cigarette lighter, it can be easily replaced with a few…

This is usually caused by a bad socket. When you put the lighter in it grounds out the positive and negative wires. Change out the socket and lighter and it will work fine.

If the socket has no power, check the fuse. If the cigarette lighter itself doesn't work, replace it with a new one. Your local auto parts store will have them.

When your cigarette lighter fuse is good and there is voltage measured between the fuse's load side to ground (To check this, use a dc voltmeter or a 12v automotive lamp and an automotive lamp socket. Connect one wire to the fuse and the other wire to the chassis of the vehicle the lamp should glow if voltage is present on the fuse terminal.), check the wire between the fuse and cigarette lighter. This wire…

Most cigarette lighter assemblys are in two parts, first you would insert into dash, and from the back side screw on the back from under the dash. are we talking about the actual lighter that has the heat element, or are we talking about the socket adapter. I have posted for socket, if this is just the lighter itself, these usually screw together also, most of the time it is just easier to replace the…

In Canada go to CTC and buy a generic cigar/cigarette lighter and plug it in the proper hole in the dash:-) .But I bet you meant lighter socket?

Remove the ashtray and reach inside with a couple of fingers and pull outwards to release the clips holding the panel, starting at the bottom and working upwards. You will also need to disconnect 5 connects including the hazard switch and the clock. Once the panel is free you can remove the lighter socket sleeve around the socket and then the socket from behind.

You need to find the correct lighter socket for ur type of vehicle, you could use a unviersal one to save some cash, but personally i rather to with OEM parts for this kind of stuff to not have to mess with wiring. Afterwards all u need to do s remove the panel where ur lighter socket is located, on my 2004 ford mustang i have to remove the actual pannel and not the side…

The fuse is located behind a panel located above the hood release. It is called "socket" on the diagram on the panel. I noted, from the Owner's Manual, that the "cigarette lighter" is actually a 12 V outlet, really not intended for a cigarette lighter.

Replace Fuse Replace socket Replace element

The problem is probably in the element, the part that gets hot, not in the socket, the part that is in the dashboard. Most auto supply stores carry replacement lighters, or you can find them in a junkyard. Your plug in is probably shorted out or maybe you have some foreign metal in the socket. Try plugging in another lighter. If the fuse blows without the plug in being pushed in, the socket is bad.

Something shorted together the positive and negative terminals in the lighter socket, and blew a fuse. You need to find out what shorted the terminals - maybe the charger, maybe the charger plug, or maybe something metal fell into the light socket. Then you can replace the fuse and find out whether you really fixed the trouble.

The easiest way I've found to fix a lighter, is to replace the element ... the part that gets hot. They fail fairly often. You can find them at parts stores. Before that, however, you should check the fuse. If the fuse is good, try plugging a cell phone charger into the socket to see if the socket is being powered or not. If the cell phone charger works, go back to square one and…

If your car cigarette lighter won't pop out, it may mean that either the lighter itself is bad, the fuse is blown, or the wiring is bad. Testing the lighter is rather easy. You could use an ohmmeter to test between the center of the coil and the metal jacket. If nothing happens on the meter, then the lighter is bad. You could test the socket by plugging something else into it. Then from there…

youll need to first wire up the socket to battery.

you need to carefully pop out the frame around the gear shifter; its tough not to crack it. i looked at several in the junk yard before doing mine. use a very thin flat head screw driver and you will see the socket and wire assembly. there should be a connection you can unplug the wires and then take off the retaining ring holding the socket into the plastic and pull it out of the…

First, gain access to the back of the socket. Unplug the wiring connector to the socket. From the back, unscrew the sleeve holding the socket in place. From the front, pull the socket out. Reverse procedure to install unit. Oops, I thought you wanted a procedure for replacing the lighter socket. To replace the lighter itself, just pull it out and push a new one in.

How to fix the cigar lighter on your Celebrity depends on what is wrong with it. I can't tell from here what is wrong with it, but one of these should do it: It may simply have a blown fuse. If so replace the fuse. The wiring could have failed, again replace the wiring. If the socket is corroded, rusty or has failed altogether then replace the socket. If the lighter itself is failed then…

As far as I know, just pull out the cigarette lighter and you have a 12 volt D/C power source. If you want an A/C (alternating current) power source, you have to buy a convertor to plug into the cigarette lighter socket and then plug your item into the convertor.

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

check the fuse. if fuse is ok, look inside the lighter and bend back the contacts .

check your fuse, if fuse is good most likely the socket, or if the lighter is used often it can also fail.

Yes. It's disguised as a standard 12V cigarette lighter.

Check the fuse first, then check the lighter and socket and sand down the contacts (be sure to pull fuse first so do don't get a shock). If not you may need a new light or socket.

You may want to check the fuse that socket is running to.

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.

Blown fuse or damaged wire The power wire that attaches to the back of the cigarette lighter is a real weak point for Toyotas. It probably melted or broke off and will require the replacement of the cigarette lighter receptacle. I had this same problem, and found that the cause was a washer in the base of the lighter socket that was not conducting (it is attached by a bolt and a screw). I expect…

Replace it with a new one that you can buy at any auto parts store.

Make sure the wires are connected to the cigar lighter. If they are, is there any power to them? If not, check the fuse. If there is power and it still won't work, then the lighter itself may be burned out. Try a different lighter in your socket to see if it works, or buy a replacement lighter/socket assembly and install it.
