The cigarette lighter, which I mainly use to charge my ipod and cellphone, just stopped working. I don’t use the car often, but this is annoying. I have no idea what to do about this problem, so, perhaps, if someone has ever come across this or knows what to do, maybe someone can steer me in the right direction.
Go to your local AutoZone or other car part place and buy a replacement lighter socket. Remove the old and install the new. The part should be under 6.00 dollars. And maybe 30 minutes or less to change.

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
