cigarette lighter problem?
ok I am having trouble gettin my cigarette lighter to work, I checked the fuse and it was good, then i took the center console apart and looked to see if any wires were disconnected and they werent and I didnt see where anybody has messed with any wires at all.. whats the problem? I am thinkin maybe its a bad lighter to begin with idk any suggestions?
did you see any corrosion at the bottom of the lighter? Mine had a small wire which looked like it was in bad shape. I replaced the lighter assembly with bought parts from Vatozone and it has worked perfectly since.
$10 fix

after seeing the corroded wire, my original plan was to get the after market and use it as a donor for my existing lighter. But as it turned out the pieces were different enough and I damaged some pieces from the original lighter that I could not go ahead with the donor idea. So instead I did replace it.
Before doing this, I searched all over this forum and even created a thread for my questions. There were posts about fuses, and wiring, etc. But in the end, my case was that the lighter was just broken.
Now I can charge the phone and the iPod - Woohoo!!!
