I greatly appreciated if anyone could take a pic of your lighter for me. My lighter is no longer working , and when I plugged something to it - I do not get power . Also, I'm wondering if there is a fuse for the lighter . On the other hand, the power plug inside the center console is working fine - I get power when plugged something to it.

I recently disembled the cigarrett lighter by unscrew a 10mm bolt underneath. A white rock thingy and a metal piece fell out from inside of the lighter. However when I put everythig back, the lighter is no longer working. Therefore, I wanted to make sure that I put them back correctly.

Below are a few pics of my lighter. As you could see the white rock thingy and a metal piece that seats on to of it.

There are 2 cutouts on both side inside of the lighter

 

im pretty sure there is a seperate fuse that ligher, check undnearth the driver side right about where your left foot normally is. the cap is white. and has a mini diagram on it to indicate which fuse is which.

 

Thanks for the info fluxx, however I'm still unsure if I re-assembled the lighter correctly . As you can see there are 2 cutouts, however the metal piece are not seat in (line-up with) those cutouts .

 

I dont think it is. the 2 tabs should line up with the cutouts. Let me go check my car.

sorry for bad pic came from a blackberry

 

Thanks...fixed it as according to your pic. However its still not working, now I suspected it must be the fuse.

Re- lineup the inside of the lighter

Anyone knows which one its ?

 

yeah, me too, the SAME thing happened to me.

 

it allows it to flex when you plug or unplug things. hope it helps

 

omg. buy a light tester and probe any of them that you suspect. It should be 15AMP. If i recall correctly, it is on the passenger side kick panel.

one more thing, read the manual!!!

 

this forum is my manual - I know i'm being lazy . Thanks for the info mate. I was hoping for a quick diagnose and fix - but guess not ha . BTW, there is only one 15AMP labeled as FR S/HTR LH <- must be that one ha?

 

wrong fuse panel it is on the passenger side #10 fuse IStundra is right it is a 15a fuse power outlet uses different fuse

 

Thanks slee18 and istundra! Found it, it must be this one I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get a new fuse from Autozone to test it out. Hopefully new fuse will fix it, I'll keep everyone updated tmr.

 

pull it out and see if it is blown or not. otherwise you are wasteing your money. use the one above to test it out. it is for the plug in the arm rest

 

Indeed its slee18 . The fuse for the lighter is busted, the lighter is now working after I switched it with the 15amp fuse that located right on top of it. I'll get a new fuse tomorrow for the power plug in the center console. Thanks for your help guys

 

np! i always have several packs of fuses in my tool chest.

 

I've learned my lesson, will stock up some fuses tomorrow after a trip to Autozone .
