Cigarette lighter died?

Featured Replies

I think mine has erm, died.

It just doesn't seem to have power, no matter what I plug in, be in actual lighter thingy, battery charger or laptop, it doesn't want to know.

Any ideas?

:thumbup:

Check the fuses ;)

IIRC they are located on the panel facing the drivers door at leg level on the outside of the dash.

Stop smoking:D

Smoking is healthy.

Smoking is healthy.

Certainly is, enjoy your lung cancer :thumbup:

I don't smoke, but I use it for other things.

Need to find out vrStu's website, I think that has a fuse guide.

So does the car's manual ;)

But this will do the job:

I'll try it tomorrow, thanks guys :thumbsup:

I blew the fuse on mine when checking the voltage with a multimeter :rolleyes:

could well be the fact that you have the rear window lock on, on the drivers electric window control panel ? this will stop the rear windows operating via the rear switches it also cuts the cigar lighter off ! .

I blew the fuse in mine yesterday....simple fix.

Didn't know that. I have a mere Comfort though.

It was the fuse. If anyone else has this proble, its a 15A one. When you take the cover off, its the blue one in a line of yellows thats nearest to the windscreen. :thumbup:

It was the fuse.

Yes yes, I'm a muppet. Thing that confused me was that I only noticed when I plugged my battery charger in and thats been in serveral times with no trouble. It sounds like an easy to blow one.

Something that would be nice is an area on the fuseboard to hold a few spare fuses.

Sorry Moose:O

Happy New Year:thumbup:
