What amp fuse is needed for radio / cigarette lighter

Tire compressor probably draws too much current for the socket. Are you sure it is a cigarette lighter socket? Some sockets are just to provide accessories 12v. Did a cigarette lighter come with this socket? True cigarette lighter sockets are generally fused at 25 or 30 Amps

wow...was looking for something else and came across the "slam door" fix...Had this problem so I tried it...and it works!!! Thanks!!!

I have a feeling that you check and changed the wrong fuse. The cigarette lighter is on a totally different circuit and that's why I think that, Not sure if you have a blown fuse for the radio but I can tell you that the fuse for the lighter is in the number 16 position and the radio is in the number 11 position (diagram of layout below). I hope this helps you and good luck.

w/out amplifier; dome, and Cig. hint if you cigarette lighter is working and your dome light is working ,the problem is not fuse is the radio.

With amplifier. Amp, Cig, and Dome; again if cigarette lighter and dome light and amp fuse is good then amplifier is bad, or Radio is bad the only hint in this one is that the amplifier control sound if radio has ilumination then the amplifier could be the cause.

All this fuses are located by the lower left side of the steering column.

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

Hi! The cigarette fuse is somehow interconnected with the radio fuse. If no luck, then i believe that the cigarette lighter needs to be replaced. Hope this helps and have a good one!

No, The lighter pulls alot of amps and the radio very very little.

I have a similar prob with this crappy lighter. The lighter & radio run off the same fuse.
The fuse block is located near the hood release lever, under the dashboard towards the left side of the car. It's about 6" x 3" and white plastic. Can't miss it. The cover snaps off and the fuse is blue colored and 15 amp (says 15 on it).You can buy a pack of 5 of these at Walmart for about $3.
Looking at the fuse block, go to the furthest left verticle row of fuses. It should be the last or next to last 15 amper from the bottom. You will need needle nose pliers to pull it out.
Make sure ignition is off and start pulling 15 amp fuses, one at a time from the bottom then moving up and check to see if they are blown. You shouldn't have to pull more than 4 of them to find it.
What I plan to do is splice and aftermarket (Radio Shack) inline fuse into the hot or + side of the lighter wires. This way, hopefully if the lighter shorts, it won't take the clock and radio with it and will be much easier to replace the little "barrel" style fuse. Just make sure it's 15 amps. Hope this helps. ♥♥♥♥

number 32 is the front cigarette lighter fuse 2 and 27 for the audio unit which i presume means radio
these are in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side
