What do you do when a 2000 Rav 4 cigarette lighter does not work but the fuse is fine and so is the coil?

if the fuses are good and the lighter element is good but no power, you probably have a burnt lighter assembly. there is a fusible link behind the assy, where you push the lighter in, you gotta remove it and see if it burned, probably is, replace it. good luck.

Why does a cigarette lighter blow fuses when you put it in?
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 you have already replaced the fuse what else do you check on a 98 Mustang cigar lighter second power outlet that doesn't work?
The cigarette lighter might not be any good. I checked my fuse in mine and it was good and i took the old cigarette lighter out and replaced it and it worked fine. They are like $3-$4 at Wal-Mart.

Can a cigarette lighter in a 1997 Rav4 be replaced?
Easy. Pop the face panel off that surrounds it and the lighter assembly simply pops out the back with a little coercion. If I remember correctly, I had to put new end connectors on the leads, but it was fine. Good luck.
How do you fix the cigarette lighter in a 1991 MR2?
one solution is to check the 2 prongs in the lighter unit..sometimes they get pushed apart and dont hold the lighter in place to heat up...push them back together and it should work fine, but dont push them in 2 far or they wont let go of the lighter once its heated up.
Lighter works but horn doesnt Chevy cavalier 96?
The cigarette lighter (I'm assuming that's what you meant) is on a separate fuse than the horn. Check that fuse, if the fuse is fine then your most likely culpret is the actual horn switch in the steering wheel.

How do you change a cigarette lighter in a Toyota Avalon?
In my 96 Avalon there is a screw in the outside bottom of the ashtray cover that when removed exposes the lighter. I did not discover it until after I had forced the entire ashtray past the stops by pushing on the stops with a screwdriver. I knew that was not correct, but it did work just fine and I was able to reattach my lighter which had come loose and kept blowing fuses.
How can you run a 16 volt in-car DVD in a car with a 12 volt battery?
Go to Radio Shack and get a plug in convertor (plugs into the cigarette lighter socket) and run it off of that. For about $20 you can get a selectable voltage item that should do just fine.
How do you fix a cigarette lighter that will not work on a 1995 Toyota Avalon when the fuse is fine?
It could be that the lighter coil is burnt out. The coils are replacable and do burn out with use. My 96 Avalon had the same problem. I took it to a Toyota dealer to get it checked out. The Lighter itself had to be replaced. It is a pretty big job, as alot of the dash has to be removed. With the parts, it cost a little less than $250.00. My'95 did the same thing. Apparently the lighter had worked itself loose and shorted out on some change from the coin tray nearby. The repair is NOT difficult. Remove the ashtray/drawer assembly: Looking closely, you will notice a tab on either side of the drawer that prevents its removal. With a screwdriver, carefully pry between the drawer and the area with tab, and the assembly will come completely out. You can now replace the failed lighter.
