Maybe something wrong with cigar lighter socket? The top wire is voltage, bottom is ground for cigar lighter. If the voltage circuit was shorted to ground, it would blow the fuse w/o anything plugged in. If the component your plugging into the cigar lighter is drawing too much, it will blow the fuse.

SOURCE: cigarette lighter not working, already changed fuse

Look in your manual for the Power Distribution Box reference in Roadside Emergencies. It should be located under the hood on the driver's side. My 2002 Explorer has two power points on the center console and the 20A fuses in the Power Distribution Box for them are number 7 and number 9. They cost $3.99 each at AutoZone. The cigar lighter fuse under the dash is unrelated.

On my 2005 Chevrolet express 1500 cigarette lighter passenger side not working but the driver side is working is the same fuse for both of them

In most cases, the cigarette lighter for both the driver and passenger sides of a vehicle are connected to the same fuse. Therefore, it is likely that the same fuse controls both cigarette lighters in your 2005 Chevrolet Express 1500. To determine which fuse controls the cigarette lighters, you should refer to your vehicle's owner's manual, which will provide a diagram of the fuse box and indicate which fuse is associated with the cigarette lighter circuit. Once you have located the appropriate fuse, you can check to see if it is blown and replace it if necessary.

My 12v cigarette lighter socket keeps blowing fuses on my Renault Modus.

First step would be to use a bright flashlight and examine the socket (receptacle) closely for the cause of the short. You may be able to remove it. If the fuse blows when you try to use the cigarette lighter, the plug lighter element may be faulty and need to be replaced. These lighters are pretty standard and you could try one from another car that you know works properly to help diagnose.

Good morning need to now what is fuse num 17 in my truck ford explorer xls. as soon is i try to put a fuse it pops

Hello, This 25 Amp fuse(#17) is for your cigarette lighter socket. If you used the socket for something else, you may have bent the terminals inside it. You will need to replace this socket as it is shorting out.

This should not be too expensive. Sometimes the autoparts stores have a display of HELP products for typical repairs and a socket going bad is common.

My cigarette lighter keeps blowing out the fuse fir it I've put in a 20amp n that blew out when I plugged in the charger n put a 30 amp that work for a couple hours n put the charger back again in it...

Never put in a bigger fuse than what it calls for. You must have a bad socket that is shorting out or the item you are plugging in is shorting it out.

The inverter caused a short circuit , the insulation on the lighter socket is earthed out or a cable is burnt and earthed out , disconnect the lighter cable, and check if shorted , if not work back to the ignition switch till you find it.

My cigar lighter fuse #12 on 2002 F250 (super duty) just started blowing. It just started today. Evrytime I put a new fuse in, it blows. Coincidently, it is raining today. What is the easiest way to find...

Is anything plugged into the lighter? If so take it out. If it still blows, check inside the plug, if it looks ok, disconnect the wires to the lighter socket, the socket may be shorted.

Electrical problem Cadillac

If there is no power to the sockets, changing the bulb wont correct the problem. Check all fuses. Check for current to the tailight. Check for ground to the tailight. Repair as nesessary.
Check cigarette lighter filament. It may be faulty. Check inside cigarette lighter socket. It may have a foreign material in it causing the short.
