Heyz all!!! my front cigrette lighter doesnt work i used it for chargin my phone!! wats wronge it doesnt work now?

 

check the fuse.

 

which fuse? cause i looked up in the manual, it indicated that it could be found under the hood on the passenger side... i cant reallly locate it, can you take a photo of the fuse box and indicate the required fuse please? appreciate ur help

 

its on the pasenger side foot well LH side

 

It's the fuse, if you can't change it, next scheduled service have the dealer although it might cost much more lol.

 

Thanks! Mine just stopped working a couple weeks ago.

 

Thanks guyz so the coin box was on the passenger side INSIDE the car cabin. All the time i was looking under the hood! lol


Simple replaced the fuse n every thing back to normal

 

Darn, it was just the fuse again... I was about to sell you my cigarette box that I pulled out to put in the coin box instead. ha ha.

I'd say about 95% if not more of the time, the cigarette lighter issue is the fuse just blew. Very rarely is something like that going to be anything but fuse, but have read others where somehow the connector came loose inside the assembly.

Good to hear it was a quick and easy fix.

 

Thanks guys the mini fuse 15A was out, replaced it and now I can plug in my cell phone charger

 

This saved me a trip to the dealership. Thanks!

 

I wanted to add to this thread considering I had a recent issue with the cigarette lighter power outlet that is in the ash tray area (immediately right of the gear shifter).

I was trying to operate a portable air compressor, and apparently I did so for too long and blew the fuse. The headache came when I checked the fuse box that is on the left side of the driver's side kick panel. There is a fuse labeled "D-CIG" and the fuse was fine. I then disassembled the center console to get to the cigarette lighter assembly. I bypassed the fuseable link (at the bottom of the cig lighter) and still no go. WTH?!?

I did some more research on this forum and discovered that the fuse that's responsible for the cigarette lighter at the ash tray is located at the passenger side kick panel (on the right side). The correct fuse to address is labeled "P-CIG." I confirmed this fuse was blown, replaced it, and the cig lighter is now getting electrical power to it. YES!!!

I have no clue what the "D-CIG" fuse controls but it definitely isn't for the ash tray cig lighter power outlet. I hope this helps someone out in the future. Thx, yet again, goes to CL for helping me save more $$$!

For additional reference, I own a 2002 LS430.....not 100% certain if the cig lighter fuse location is the same for all LS430s but I imagine it would be.

 

It's probably the other outlet inside center console box.

 

Could it be for the lighter that is in the back side of the center console facing the rear passengers?

 

Thread Bump (i know)....I Just had this issue in the center console storage lid cig lighter no longer working. And i wanted to correct what was posted above for anyone else...

If your center console (inside the armrest lid) is not working then the fuse you are looking for is the 15a fuse on drivers side footwell labelled "power outlet". It is not the D.cig fuse.
