Probably just the fuse or it could be a lose wire under the dash
Most likely the fuse is blown, many cars have the cigar lighter and the radio on the same circut.
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?
To give the lighter structural strength, otherwise the plastic case could just crack in your pocket.
The flint could be broken, or worn, or it could be out of fuel. Disposables are made of thin metal, not meant to be together very long. You can replace the flint or pour in more fuel into the bottom of the Zippo.
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.
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
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. (Helpfull)
you could have some faulty wiring. take your dash board off and see if any wires are frayed or broken
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
It could be a burnt out fuse. Also, did the vehicle come with the cigarette lighter or was it purchased after you bought the car? I've noticed the cheap-os from gas stations usually dont work. I sometimes think it has to do with all these smoking bans!
there is a small plug on the back of the lighter, you have to take the lighter out, it could have vibrated loose
