Rear cIgarette lighter not working

[RoyG]

Hi

My rear cigarette lighter isn't working. I'm not sure it's the fuse because the lighter socket in the front works.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks

I had the same fault on my 2004 Passat, should be the same. There is a fuse behind the panel under the stering wheel. If you take this panel off and look up to the right under the dash you can see them, yellow 15A i think. Not easy to change but i spent ages trying to find the fault. Hope this is of some help.
