Probably just the fuse or it could be a lose wire under the dash
If the cigarette lighter in your 2001 Citroën Picasso isn't working, first check the fuse associated with the lighter, as a blown fuse is a common cause. You can find the fuse box under the dashboard or in the engine compartment; consult your owner's manual for the exact location. Additionally, ensure that the lighter socket is clean and free of debris. If the lighter still doesn't work after these checks, it may need to be replaced or there could be an issue with the wiring.
Most likely the fuse is blown, many cars have the cigar lighter and the radio on the same circut.
Your 2001 rav 4 cigarette lighter worksbut the other two cigarette socket doesnt work the one at the back and the one near the handbreakis there a fuse for these two sockets you cant find them at the
The owner's manual does not state a specific fuse for the cigarette lighter, but it worked a few months ago, and now doesn't. Could it be something else?
Yes, a jammed cigarette lighter can cause battery drain if it remains in the "on" position, preventing the lighter from properly disconnecting. This continuous power draw can deplete the vehicle's battery over time, especially if the engine is off. Additionally, other components connected to the same circuit may also be affected, contributing to battery drain. It's advisable to address any issues with the lighter promptly to avoid battery problems.
I need to know two things------1--I have a 1991 Dodge Spirit-Where on the fuse panel is the fuse that controls the cigarette lighter i t does not show it oMn the cover?-#-2---my blower stopped working, I get good heat on all settings. What can I check I checked the fuse, and it is good, could I have a loose wire somewhere? Mike
Certainly could, especially if the bare wires that were connected to the lighter mechanism short out (touch) together. This will cause a dead short and render the car's entire electrical system inoperable.
To give the lighter structural strength, otherwise the plastic case could just crack in your pocket.
The cigarette lighter in a Toyota Noah may not function due to a blown fuse, which is a common issue that can disrupt electrical components. Additionally, there could be a problem with the lighter socket itself, such as dirt or damage preventing proper contact. A faulty lighter element or wiring issues could also be contributing factors. Checking the fuse and ensuring the socket is clean and intact are good initial troubleshooting steps.
In your fuse panel on the driver's end of the dash (the cover is visible with the driver's door open ) in location # 17 there is a 20 amp fuse for your cigarette lighter and data link connector - check to see if the fuse is blown , also it could be the lighter itself or an electrical connection problem.

Yep and its located in either the glove compartment or right rear over the battery. Also in my 1988 325IS the cigarette lighter works to power my electrical devices however when i plug in most/all new devices the stupid thing doesn't work and the reason for this is the alignment of the contacts on the plug-in. Try some of your old devices first and if none work then it could be your fuse. YOUR WELCOME :-D
