but still no power to cigarette lighter ? How do you know, did use a voltmeter an test for battery voltage ? Or just pushed in the cig lighter an it doesn't heat up ? How did you check the fuse , just look at it ? They can be bad but look good . See the 2 metal tabs on top of the fuse , you can use a voltmeter an test for battery voltage at both tabs. Does it have battery voltage ? Or the lighter element is bad or the socket it self is ?
Fuses are located in a plastic box, usually under the hood of your car. When they burn out, whatever they are designated to operate will not work. They are usually labelled. For cigarette lighter, it usually says, "Cig". Cigarette lighters are more important today than they used to be because GPS units and power invertors for computers and chargers for cell phones plug into them. The good news is that fuses are cheap and simple to replace.
Most 12 volt outlets/plugs like one would plug a GPS into or a cigarette lighter, are 'hot' all the time. This means that they are hooked direct to positive side of the electrical system. If your cigarette lighter is not working check the wire from it to the hot side of the fuse block.

Check for power at fuse. If power is there a break in the wire going to cig lighter is broken. If no power than there is a blown fusible link by battery. Check fuses under hood also
YOU NEED TO REPLACE CIGARETTE LIGHTER FUSE.LOOK FOR LOCATION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL IN GLOVE COMPARTMENT.CIGARETTE LIGHTER FUSE SHOULD BE IN THE INTERIOR CAR FUSE BOX.
Your radio does run off of the same fuse that powers the cigarette lighter and auxilliary power outlet. I would check the fuse again. It is a 15 Amp fuse located in the Driver's Side Junction Block which is behind the left kick panel. The fuse should be marked "Cig"
you could do this by running 2 wires directly from the battery to the back of the cig lighter and by fusing the positive.if it is only when using the cig lighter and not when charging a phone ect.it could be element on the cig lighter shorting
Two years later and you solved my dead cigarette lighter. manual says fuse 35--but it did not say to check 38 on the left fuse box. Thanks--blown fuse and everything works. Thanks
To test if the cig lighter works buy a 12volt test light at radio shack and test the center of the cig lighter to see if you get power there.if you don't then there is a blown fuse somewhere check the fuses in the engine compartment?
I did that - no mention of a cigarette lighter fuse - tied in with the radio maybe?
