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
If you are getting power in the socket--replace heating element If you are getting power to the socket, but not through it--replace socket and element
To replace the cigarette lighter in a 2007 Mercedes SL550, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and disconnect the battery for safety. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the panel surrounding the lighter socket, then carefully pull out the old lighter assembly. Disconnect the wiring harness attached to the back of the lighter and replace it with the new one by reversing the process. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the new lighter to ensure it works properly.
To replace the cigarette lighter socket on a 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML, first, disconnect the vehicle's battery to ensure safety. Use a trim removal tool to carefully detach the surrounding trim panel around the socket. Once the panel is removed, unscrew the old socket from the mounting and disconnect its wiring harness. Finally, connect the new socket, secure it in place, and reattach the trim before reconnecting the battery.
Replace: Fuse Socket Element
You may want to check the fuse that socket is running to.
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
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.
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....
The socket is
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.
