Cigarette Lighter Dead

...fuse is ok under the dash...any ideas if there is something that is common and causes this?

I am sure I will figure it out one day, but would rather try and get it knocked out now if it is easy.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

probably the lighter assembly is bad.

they get corroded and stop working from my experience. If you pull that part of the dash off, use a multimeter to check for voltage.

 

Check the wires on the back. +1 on the useage of the volt meter, with the key on.

 

Thanks all, I can handle it...it is low on the priority list...just checking it all out before hand.

 

I solder blobbed across the back black wire which wasn't gripping. All is well!!

Thanks!

 

Why would you smoke in it? Unless your tryin to light a doobie...

If it comes down to it... Ive taken alligator clips and attached one an end to each lead on the battery, then touched/clipped it to the corresponding part on the lighter and got it ignited that way.

You may need to pull over to tackle this one.

Thats great.

 

You need it for the Nazi's at the emissions station so you don't have to turn off the car and run into start up enrichment issues.
