For the cigarette lighter: 1 First check if the lighter element is good. Use a volt meter to see if there is voltage inside the cavity. If there is voltage, get a new element. 2. The fuse box is under the dash on the drivers side. Remove the cover and check fuse #10, it will be a 15 amp fuse. Replace it if blown, if not there is probably a broken wire someplace. Probably on the lighter cavity (receptical). Joedi
Also you need to be sure the fuse is working in your car before replacing the lighter.
Check the fuse first. If the fuse is good, check to see if you have 12 volts at the lighter. If so replace the lighter. If not check the wring. Best to just replace the entire lighter assembly.
the ACC fuse powers the lighter, the door locks and the trunk hatch. It is a 20amp fuse.
How do I fix my cigarette lighter when fuse is good
Just pull all the fuses out and check them. Replace the bad one. that's not really going to help.... remove the cigarette lighter by pulling the trim off the radio there is a fusable link on the cigarette lighter socket itself. you can replace the socket or try to replace the fuseable link its a peice of 14 gauge aluminum wire....
try the fuse
Did you check for a blown fuse?
If the cigarette lighter is not working and the ACC fuse, inside the car, left of steering wheel, is still good (radio is working), the "fuse" on the back side of the cigarette lighter socket, a brown wire, has blown. Socket needs to be replaced or fixed with a soldering iron and a new wire.
Check the fuse. If you use a phone charger or any other aux device in the cigarette lighter most likely blew it.
its the fuse
Cigarette lighter not work?I read in my car owner manual, and it tells me that the reason why a cigarette lighter will stop working is because the heating mechanism is burned out. I'm not sure exactly what it is or what is a definite answer for why it would burn out. But one reason was given. It said if you take the lighter out before it pops up, that it would cause the heating mechanism to burn out faster.
Check your fuses in your fuse panel usually that is what is wrong when cigarette lighters and radios quit working.
