Cigarette plug does not work

Your best bet is to check on eBay for an adapter - the Asians make all sorts of stuff for cars now & i'm sure there is an adapter out there suited for your purposes. P.S. It may sound silly but are you sure you are using the actual cigarette lighter socket & Not a power outlet socket that many cars are now fitted with as standard?, my phone charger fits the cigarette socket but not the power outlet?, you never know?

hey ronkardos,
did you find a solution? My caravan started developing similar issue.

a cigarette lighter is rarely on its own fuse, test the plug with a cell phone charger or some other device that plugs into the lighterplug, if it works the cigarette plug is ok, and the actual lighter itself is bad, most auto stores sell replacements

it usually runs on the same fuse as the radio & interior light which is the accessories fuse, if these two things still work you may have another problem with the wiring,you might need to pull the lighter out & check the wiring.....hope this helps.....cheers

The first thing you have to check is the fuses. the lighter should be paired with other things but you should find it in your manual..

The cigarette lighter plug should also work for the phone charger as long as the phone charger uses the cigarette lighter style plug(long with two metal contacts on the sides and a button contact on the tip). Most standard car chargers will fit both cigarette and auxillary style plugs.

Hello, try plugging something else into your cigaret lighter and see if it worgs EG: mobli phone charger. If it works it means that you need to replace your cigaret lighter. I hope this helps.

it should say lighter on fuse box cover to manually find it plug something in to lighter such as radar detecter and pull fuses one by one till it goes off. If your just looking for a burnt out lighter fuse remove them one by one till you find it.

if you locate the fuse panel it should be marked either # 2-3 or accessories fuse marked on the cover

The memory wire of the radio,(the power for the clock and channel settings) is usually connected to the same circuit as the cigarette lighter. (there is a seperate fuse for radio) Check your cigarette lighter socket for damage or dirt, etc. could be causing the memory fuse to blow. Also check your cig lighter accesories (like cell phone chargers,etc.)

P.S. The backlight is also a seperate circuit (connected to interior light/parking light circuit)
