I have a 2001 ford escort and the cigarette lighter doesn’t work and I’ve replaced the fuses still nothing works. The lighter itself has rust inside but none of the replacements are what I need. I’ve gone to auto zone and pep boys…no help. Does anyone know what i can do? I need it to activate my xm radio.
go to a parts house. maybe you can visit a wrecking yard. i like to go out and get my own parts at like a pic a part. way cheaper and you may find something else while you are there

The cigarette lighter in the 2006 Ford Focus I just bought doesn’t work. It doesn’t work as a lighter (the knob won’t stay pushed in) and nothing that I plug into it (my GPS and tunecast) will work. I need to go out of town unexpectedly, and the limited warranty from buying the car is only good in my town, but because it’s the 4th of July, they are closed today. I’m wondering how much it will cost to fix it if I just get it done somewhere else and pay for it.
Your fuse is blown….go to Auto Zone or a full service gas station and they should replace it for free…Drive safe
