Use an electronic cleaner & spray inside the outlet to clean it. Make sure there is no power at the outlet when you're doing this. If it is extremely rusty you may have to replace the outlet.

Were is the cigarette lighter on IST 2003 model?

They screw in from the rear. If you can't get to it you may have to take the light assy off.

The long way is the best way: You will need a medium Phillips screwdriver at minimum. A battery screwdriver/drill makes it faster. Needle nose pliers might help to resolve problems. There is no need to open the hood. Procedure:

1. From the orange side lamp take out the two screws hold it in, pull lamp away from frame. 2. Remove frame by taking out four screws, 1/near the grill in front, 2,3/ from the opening made by removing the side lamp, 4/the last from the bottom of the frame near the bumper. 3. Pull frame away exposing headlight. Remove four screws holding the bezel (thin metal frame around the headlight). 4. DO NOT turn the two adjustment screws, one on top in the middle between the two bezel screws, or the one the outer side. 5. The headlight then can be pulled away and disconnected. Connect new headlight. You may need to bend one or two of the three prongs to make it fit. Fit bezel to headlight, secure with four screws. Secure frame with three screws. Secure orange side lamp with two screws.

Problems: Screws may be rusted in place or break. Screws are easy to lose, put them in a container or other good place.

EMERGENCY METHOD:

With a Phillips screwdriver undo only the two bottom screws on the bezel and carefully remove and secure them. Bend bezel upwards and away enough to remove headlight. Replace headlight. TRICKY part: You will definitely lose the two bezel screws UNLESS you stuff a paper towel or similar in the space below the holes to catch the screws if you miss getting it in. It would be best at this point to wait until you can do the full procedure at another time.

Otherwise, good luck!

I found this answer in a search...it is an exellent answer and I followed it to a good conclusion. Thanks.

You might check the Amps size of the fuse. A lot of times, if you are using a fuse with too little Ampage, it can cause the fuse to blow. Your owner's manual should tell the proper size of fuse for that specific circuit.

First of all, be sure to check for a blown fuse. Then, you will have to pull the ashtray and expose the lighter charging coil, which is the round metal piece that the actual lighter rests in. Disconnect your battery, and then disconnect the wiring harness clip from the back of your lighter, then you twist the lighter counterclockwise to unseat it for removal. Installation is the reversal of these steps.

In the fuse panel located on the drivers end of the dash ( the removable plastic fuse panel cover is visible with the drivers door open ) fuse # 29 is a 15 amp fuse for the radio , and fuse #20 is a 7.5 amp fuse for the radio , RAP module and GEM

http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?TID=43698&TPN=2 the following information came from the above mentioned link: I seem to remember when I blew my lighter fuse, it was the only electrical thing that didn't work. I seem to remember the fuse located on the left side where the passenger sits. If you are looking at the radio, down and to the right a panel should pop off. Check all the fuses there, even if you don't know which is which. The inside of the panel should give a chart, too.

Under the dashboard (drivers side) near plastic molding by the door. Pull the plastic cover off and the fuses for the radio and dome/courtesy lights are the blue ones at the bottom. I also had trouble with these devices as well as the power door locks. It wasn't the fuses, it was the fuse box and/or loose connections in the wiring going into it. wiggling the fuse block turned the radio and lights back on!

the fuse is the yellow 20 A in the back fuse pannel the one that is out of line with all the other ones

I had a 94 & 96 taurus and you had to take the ash tray out to get to it.

Usually, the metal inside the plastic enclosure will have a U shape. If the fuse is blown, the curved part of the U will be missing, and the plastic will look a bit discolored/ or it will even be black depending on how hard of a load the fuse got before it burnt out.

Too much combination of voltage/current. Fuses are to keep things from over-heating/catching fire. If you replace that fuse with a larger one, it won't blow as often, but it defeats the purpose of the original fuse, which is to limit your voltage/current.

think its number 36

what number fuse for washer jet

In engine bay upper left hand side of car next to the strut mount its the black box there

right beneath the windshield on the driver side next to the master cylinder

take a close look at the lighter itself. It's 14 years old and might have a short-circuit in it. You can test that with resistance meter.

Get a fuse tester test it on the inside of the plug itself of it lights up theirs current so you might just have to replace the plug entirely

87 and 88 in the fuse box in the trunk behind panel on passenger side. Not sure which is which but one is for the dash lighter and other is for the back of center console power ports.

fuse 25 20amp under bonnet

The fuse for a 2001 Saturn L200 cigarette lighter is found in the cabin fuse box. The fuse is labeled as CIG.

On a 2005 Ford F-150 :

( fuse # 41 is a yellow color 20 amp mini fuse for the cigarette lighter and diagnostic connector power ) according to the owners manual

Just inside the driver's side door, under the console. A very uncomfortable reach, because you really have to be laying on your back on the floor of the driver's side to see it.
