Hi,

I believe the first step is to be sure what the problem actually is by attaching your test light clip to ground and poking the pointy end at the center in the bottom of the socket where the lighter element plugs in. While the key is on you should have power and the test light will light up. If it doesn't light up use your test light to check the fuses, if you find any broken fuses replace them and check the lighter again. On my '89 camry the lighter didn't work and I had to remove the radio to find that the wire that goes to the back of the lighter had come disconnected. In your case I suspect that you will solve the problem by purchasing a new lighter element and/or replacing the fuse because it is very seldom that anything else goes wrong with the cig lighter.

Best regards.

Son plugged ac/dc adapter into accessory plug and it sparked and afterwards cigarette lighter and accessory plug does not work anymore. Thinking maybe fuse but don't have manual to know where fuses are....

I always use a test light and check them all. Usly faster then looking up which fuse it is. Here is a diagram of fuse block anyhow. CIG stands for cigarette lighter.08b0868.png

No power going to cigarette lighter in Nissan Murano '05

I troubleshot this issue and found the problem to be a defective power plug. There was no connection from the ground spade lug to the receptacle. The fix is easy. Just remove the plug, unplug the electrical connector and replace the bad unit. I found a similar one at Wal-Mart for under $6 that had a compatible electrical contact configuration.
This seems to be a design problem with the power plug. There are no visible signs of contact burn or corrosion... simply an open on the ground side of the housing.

Cigarette lighters (2) don't work

You replaced the relay or the fuse? Need clarification :)

- do you have a voltometer / ohm-meter / or a test light?
- do you have a factory service manual (not a "haynes manual")
- what happened prior to the cigarette lighters not working (i.e. plugged in my computer / turn on the headlights) ((or - if it just never worked leave blank))

Please and thank you :)

I first noticed that my power outlets did not work.

Does it blow if you plug in something different. The thing you plugged in might be shorted.

Battery dead; cannot open hood

If the cigarette lighter is an unswitched power point you could use it as a location to put a very small charge, just enough to get the hood release solenoid to activate. Years ago there was a device that was a male cigarette lighter power point at both ends and enough cable to go from car to car. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT OPEN HOOD, DO NOT TURN KEY TO RUN OR ATTEMPT TO START. ANYTHING COULD RESULT. MINOR OR MAJOR. THERE IS A COMPUTER MEMORY SAVER THAT MATES A 9 VOLT TO A MALE CIGARETTE LIGHTER PLUG THIS MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO RELEASE HOOD BUT MAYBE WITH A 12 VOLT FLASHLIGHT BATTERY (2 6 VOLT BATTERIES) WOULD WORK TO OPEN THE HOOD. (TURN EVERYTHING OFF EVEN DOME LIGHT.)
