welcome to club lexus! first off would be to check the fuse, to see if it is blown.my cig lighter didnt work but it was because of corrosion in the barrel.

next time try using the search button as this has been covered before, and where at in NJ are you? im exit 100 on the GSP

thanks, i did replace the fuse but that wasnt it. i think it maybe the corrosion of the barrel...so basicly i have to replace that right? and im off the rancocas woods exit off 295

ahh your an hour away from me, VinnyMac lives down that way and look in the barrel to see if u see any rust/corrosion?

Ejsides36

no, from what i see it looks pretty clean

have you tried multiple devices in the cig lighter? sometimes a fuse inside a charger can blow and could make you think your cig lighter is blown

yea i even had a brand new radar detector in it, nothing worked

There's also an inline fuse right at the bottom of the lighter, well at least for my 93 there was. If it looks like some plastic is melted away right at the bottom then the fuse is blown. Just go to auto zone and pick up another and do a tiny bit of fabrication to get a new one to work.

^ what he said, on the 92 also,
does everythign else work? try just taking it out and make sure everything is still hooked up as its suppose to be, simple problems are hardest to find
and welcome to cl

if it is not the fuse, it is most likely corrosion in the lighter assembly. Underneath there is a small wire which is known to be a problem.

A thread i made some time ago might be helpful.
