Cigarette lighter I had my radio stolen out of my car and every sense my cigarette lighter socket dosen't work (by the way I don't smoke just would like to able to charge my phone ext.....)

the cigarette lighter fuse is usually the radio,clock ,instrument panel illumination fuse as well .If these other items are working ok i'd have to say the cigarrette lighter heat element is burned out or there is a loose /disconnected wire to the cigarette lighter socket

It may have burned out the heating element. There may be an inline fuse.

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

The lighter socket or the element.
Check the element for burn marks and the socket for debris blocking the contacts.

You should replace both your battery and cigarette lighter.

try to tighten lighter element to lighter handle, if this does not work replace the lighter assembly

make sure nothing in cig lighter socket..coins,etc..if nothing present,unplug cig lighter socket and replace fuse..if fuse doesn't blow,it's the socket causing fault..if it does,unplug radio,plug cig lighter back in and replace fuse..if fuse doesn't blow,radio is cause of fault..if it does,then ther is short in wiring

is cigarette lighter socket still working itt may be on same fuse as radio { check fuse}

YOU CAN PURCHACE A NEW 12V OUTLET AT ANY PARTS STORE. THEY ARE EASY TO INSTALL TOO. YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE DASH TRIM. TWIST THE HOUSING OF THE OLD ON TO THE LEFT AND IT WILL UNSCREW. REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE THE SAME WAY. THERE ARE ONLY TWO WIRES THAT WILL PLUG RIGHT IN.

It could be as simple as a blown fuse, could also be a bad socket or bad connections.
