The lighter has an element that get hot to light the cigarette. That element acts like a fuse as well. It will show an open to the coil if shorted out. Alsao the case this element sets into has a built in fuse. If that fails, the lighter will not work. Ohm meters are used to check these items out if all fuses in the fuse box are OK fine

Cigarett lighter is not working, what fuse do I need to replace

If you are having trouble finding the fuse, use a fuse tester to test all of the fuses in the fuse box in under 5 minutes. It will light on fuses that are powered but not continuous through the fuse. One can buy one at Walmart or the auto parts store in your area along with some spare fuses.

Get the fuse puller from the big fuse box under the car's hood, it is white plastic. Pull out bad 15A blue fuse, replace with new one. For a quick fix, use 15A spare from the big fuse box. Replace asap.

No power to the cigarette lighter. which fuse controls the power

The fuse for the cigarette lighter/accessory is located under the hood on the drivers side. There is a black box close to the firewall with many relays and I believe it is fuse 35?? Unscrew the cover and you will see a number of fuses and on the cover it will list the location of the fuses here.
