I have a 1996 Toyota Corolla the cigarette lighter does not work after using a small portable heater but the radio does I have check the fuse in the driver side kick panel it is fine there's there another fusible link or fuse or breaker location or any suggestions as why the lighter doesn't work

Please check the radio fuse.

Check these two fuses. Fuse number 31 in fuse box location 4, if cigarette lighter, radio and clock. Else fuse number 5 in fuse box location 2, if only radio and clock and not cigarette lighter.

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.

On the back side of the lighter there is a fusable link between the incoming power wire and the metal tab that connects power to the lighter. This is a very small wire, bent 90 degrees, between two tabs that are mounted on the same small screw. It looks like the incoming power tab and the power to the lighter would be connected, but they are insulated from each other on the screw. If the fusable link is blown, you will have power at the power connector on the back of the lighter, but no power to the center terminal inside the lighter.

yes you sure did ! check in the owners manual for fuse location . the safest way to use those inflators are with a cigarette lighter adapter with alligator clips right to the battery hope this helps

you may have a blowen fuse, i know was working on the a radio today and blew the fuse, located under the dash board

Cigarette lighter fuse is in the driver-side fuse panel, 20 amp number one fuse

You may have a short in the dash, i would have it checked by a mechanic, if it is a short it could cause a fire, so you should have it checked ASAP........

This is the interior fuse. The fusebox is on the left side under the dash, in front of the door. The fusebox door has a diagram identifying the fuses. Replacement fuses are available from any discount store or auto parts store. Use the correct amperage fuse.
