Default Cigarette Lighters not working - Can't charge my phone

I have a 2007 GS450h and my cigarette lighters have both gone out. The one in the Ashtray and the one in the armrest. I've checked the fuses under the drivers legs and under the engine. All fuses are working. Am I missing something? Has someone seen this issue before? Please advise.

txs!

I had the same issue, theres a fuse under the passenger side. If thats good then you may have a connection undone at the actual lighter.

+1 for connection lose. That's what happen with mine. Just pop it up and reconnect the wire.

BTW, the light to light up the cig area... it doesn't turn off even when the door is close.

So i had the same problem with my 08is250...i changed both the cig lighter fuse and the fuse for the Outlet in the center console Next to the aux. I plug my iPhone charger to the cig lighter and it works sometimes..sometimes it doesn't. (someone had said on another thread that a guy at the dealer told him/her that it is what it is A CIG LIGHTER is not for charging a phone) Hard to believe that. now in age u need a changer like everywhere you go. So I'm i going to be forced to use the actual outlet? I don't what my lexus looking ghetto with a dual splitter ...I hate wires. I have a siriusxm radio also. Please help

You're in the wrong section, might want to try the 2IS forums as our layouts are a bit different.

If it's intermittent, The above posters may be right as you may have a loose connection and just need to reseat the connection on the cigarette lighter itself.

I also don't agree that a cigarette lighter isn't limited to that itself..... We have a cigarette lighter in the armrest console for a reason also .
