I drive a 1999 Mazda Mellinia and the cigarette lighter doesn’t work at all i’m assuming I need a fuse but I’m not sure exactly which one I need.

check your owners manual under fuses alot of times it’s the coil(the part of the lighter you pull out of the dash)that burns out you can get that at pretty much any parts store for a couple bucks

I’m trying to get underneath the cigarette lighter socket in my 2005 Corsa SXi to see if its connected properly or replace it if nessecary, but not sure how to get under there? Anyone know how to? Thanks?

If the socket is loose, there is a metal ring that screws onto the lighter housing and tightens a bracket, clamping the lighter in place. If it’s not a loose lighter and you wish to check the electrical wiring, all you really need to do is use a test light to check the center contact inside the area you plug the lighter into. Many after market items such as cell phone chargers don’t always fit perfectly in the lighter socket and cause a brief short circuit and blow the fuse.

I have a 99 Ford Explorer. The cigarette lighter no longer works. It isn’t a fuse. I replaced them all. What could it be? What will i end up paying?

my 1986 benz 300 e cigarette lighter wires were cut could this be why the radio isn’t working. I pulled out the radio and haven’t noticed anything else cut or broken. will reconnecting the wires again cause my radio to work? Can I get the lighter plug from a auto store. please respond to kiuytg@comcast.net, my yahoo email isn’t working properly.

If the two wires were cut at the same time or the positive wire has touched ground then a fuse has blown. Many cars use the same fuse for the memory, or constant supply for the radio.

You have two lengths of fuse and each takes exactly 1 hour to burn. But the fuses don’’t burn evenly and they’re both likely to be different. Using only these two fuses and a cigarette lighter, how do you measure 45 minutes?

Light both ends of one of the fuses (F1), and one end of the remaining fuse (F2). F1 will burn out in 30 mins, then light the second end of F2 which will burn out in 15 mins. 30 + 15 = 45 mins

My cigarette lighter went out in my 96 toyota 4runner. Is there a fuse I should change, or any typical solution/trouble shoot I can do?

Thanks.

should be a fuse for your lighter if the fuse checks out good then it is most likely the element.

You should be able to find a replacement cigarette lighter element at any auto parts store.

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.

For example… I drive pretty much a different vehicle every day, Sometimes they aren’t in the best condition. If, by chance, the cigarette lighter was faulty could it ruin my MP3 player which is being powered by it?

Not if you are using the correct adapter. The adapter should be fused as well.

But, the lighter in a car has a big fuse rating (15 amps+) so there is plenty of power available to fry your ipod.

Also, if the voltage regulator on the car is a bit ‘iffy’ then there is a good chance of voltage spikes.

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
