You probably pulled the wiring plug off the back of the socket. Or the fuse went when the socket came out.

SOURCE: My GPS fell to pieces

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

The cigarette lighter and radio fuse will be underneath the dash on the driver's side. Once you pulled the cover, there will be a diagram that indicates what fuse is for the cigarette and radio. Mostly the two are powered with one fuse.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

How can I change the cigarette lighter fuse in Toyota Avalon 2005?

Changing the fuse in the fuse box wont solve your problem On the back of the socket that is mounted in the dash that the lighter pushes into has a inline fuse that if over heated will blow. You will have to change the lighter. Toyota wanted close to $70 for a replacement lighter for my Tacoma. I never used the cigarette lighter for cigarett but needed to charge my cell phone so I replaced it with a dash Mount 12 Volt Power Socket for $10. Good luck.

probably the fuse that powers the cigarette lighter also powers the radio so check the cigarette lighter and socket for a short and replace the fuse.

The lighter socket or the element.

More than likely overheated the wiring going to the lighter as well and burned it off. If you pull the lighter socket out you should see if it did. Simply solder it back on and be careful not to overload it again.

2004 envoy can i use the cigarette lighter socket to keep the envoys battery charged

As long as you use a slow charg device, yes. Rapid charge devices will blow the fuse or at worst can cause a fire.

Cigarette lighter doesn't work 2002 Pontiac grand am GT changed

Make sure the wire to the back of the lighter is still live, all you need is a 12 volt tester.Connect the earth clip on the tester to a good earth usually a part of the car body(a screw or bolt head)put the tester into the lighter socket and touch the contact at the bottom.cigarette lighters are usually permanently live but also try it with the ignition on,if it is live the tester will illuminate but i think your wire may be disconnected from the live source.hope this helps.

the easiest solution is to purchase a 12 volt converter ( available at auto parts/Radio Shack stores ) that plugs into the cigarette lighter and has one or two outlets to plug your devices into
