I have a used 2000 Infinit G20 with only 1 cigarette lighter socket. Every adapter I have plugged in (for ipod, cell phone chargers etc) has never worked in this car. I have tried with the car on and off. With the car in drive and with the car in park. I assume that shouldn’t matter, but I’ve tried everything like that just to be sure.
Is this an electrical problem with the car? Is there some obvious solution that I’m too stupid to notice? I don’t trust myself to do any of my own maintenance on this car, so if this something that does need to be checked out, what kind of place (dealer, mechanic, chain auto store) do you recommend? Thanks!!!
The socket may be burnt up or the fuse blown.Get a meter and check for 12 volt and ground,replace if necessory.

I don’t want to make you mad,but you didn’t say if you had tried to use the lighter. If the lighter does not get hot, then you have a bad socket. You will need a new one. You can purchase one at any auto parts store. Then you will have to figure out how to get the old one out and the new one in. They are not as easy as it seems they should be. Go figure. Hey Michael, I never thought of that. Thats probably whats wrong with mine. Thanks.
