How do I fix my cigarette lighter when fuse is good
your 15 A fuse located behind the coin box is blown.
Is cigarette lighter not working also? If so then probably a fuse blown by shorting the cigarette lighter socket. Fuse is located under glove box passenger side front (RHD version). It's not easy to get to and will probably be the last one you try.
try the fuse
Did you check for a blown fuse?
If the cigarette lighter is not working and the ACC fuse, inside the car, left of steering wheel, is still good (radio is working), the "fuse" on the back side of the cigarette lighter socket, a brown wire, has blown. Socket needs to be replaced or fixed with a soldering iron and a new wire.
Some how I lost the owners manual for my 1998 Lincoln town car. Now my cigarette lighter is not working. I need to find out where the fuse is located...can anybody help..thanks Rich
Check the fuse. If you use a phone charger or any other aux device in the cigarette lighter most likely blew it.
its the fuse
Cigarette lighter not work?I read in my car owner manual, and it tells me that the reason why a cigarette lighter will stop working is because the heating mechanism is burned out. I'm not sure exactly what it is or what is a definite answer for why it would burn out. But one reason was given. It said if you take the lighter out before it pops up, that it would cause the heating mechanism to burn out faster.
Check your fuses in your fuse panel usually that is what is wrong when cigarette lighters and radios quit working.
