You May Have Blown A Fuse. If You Look In Your Fuse Box, It Is Located On Most Vehicles Under The Dash, Between Steering Column & Kick Pad { Door } HOPE THIS HELPS OUT
AnswerCheck the fuse1996 corolla fuse is in kick panel next to driver!!! cig lighter and clock and radio!!!
I had the same exact problem with my 98 prizm. It IS a fuse. Mine was located in the fusebox, behind the little storage compartment on the dash. It's a 15 amp mini fuse, marked as lighter. Hope this helps you!
Sounds like a fuse or wiring problem to me. Probably best to check the fuses first since in most vehicles it's easier to access the fuse panel, than yanking out the dashboard to check wiring.
This is a signal that you most likely have a bad solder joint in your component. If both speakers are failing to play, then the issue is actually at the stero end. If only one speaker is doing this, then most likely the problem is at the speaker, but it could still be at the stereo itself. The reason it works when it is hot is that the heat causes the metal in the solder or immediate component to expand thus completing the circuit. As it cools off the circuit is broken again because the metal has contracted and is no longer making a complete circuit.
Yes, there is a fuse for the radio, which is probably blown. It may be a combination fuse. Controlling the radio and possibly the lighter or 12V power outlet. I had the same problem in the same car trust me there is a fuse I think it is a 20 Amp fuse
To fix the cigarette lighter on a Chevy Cavalier, check the fuse first. Next check the wiring and the cigarette lighter itself for a problem.
If a Ford Expedition loses operation of a cigarette lighter, there is a loss of power. Check the fuses and wiring to the lighter to find the problem.
Had this problem - simple doesnt have a fuse buy new cigarette lighter.
A broken cigarette lighter fuse in a Mazda 5 can be a nuisance. A burnt fuse is a common cause for this problem and can be found in slot 43 of the passenger fuse box.
you dont fix the lighter. you fix your smoking problem. get those patches or the gum
Did you ever find out where the cigarette lighter fuse was located on the 98 Camry? I have a 00 Camry and im looking for my cig. lighter fuse. The fuse is in a fuse box located under the drivers side of the dashboard to the left of the steering column. If the fuse is good and the cigarette lighter still does not work, the wire attaching at the cigarette lighter itself has probably burned or broken off necessitating the lighter be changed. It's a comon problem.
If it's anything like my 92 Sunbird, (and they do have the same inherent problems), they are leaky cars (water wise) and it's probably wiring. There's a grounding problem it sounds like. I used to have a similar problem in my 92 when I used the cigarette lighter, it would blow the taillight fuse everytime. Replaced the cigarette lighter and problem went away. See, the cigarette lighter was rusted and the ground was faulty, so it would ground to the nearest fuse (which was taillight fuse) overload it, and blow the taillight fuse. Your parking lights are probably not grounded properly and it is doing the same thing my cigarette lighter was. Is it just me or are these cars just like the old Ford Tempo's and Dodge K cars, very reliable for the most part, but very leaky?!
I had the same problem and it was found that the built in radio/CD player was the problem, I had to replace the radio and cigarette lighter. All is well now, check out your radio as fuses kept blowing till i changed the radio.
bad fuse... always pull, NEVER twist the plug...
i had this same problem with my 740il 1997 and its not the fuse box under the hood but it is the fuse box in the trunk in the same compartment as the battery storage it is behind the cloth siding you just pull that down and there is the fuse box that has the cigarette lighter in it.
If it's the lighter itself, and not the circuit, any auto specialties store will sell "generic" replacement lighters (the part you grasp and pull out), and 90% of the time, the lighter itself is the problem - they "burn out". If the problem is the lighter socket or circuit, I'd just write it off and forget about it.
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.
