okay so i got a Valentine1 radar online which is amazing but the wire isnt long enough to reach the plug in the back, my cig lighter in the front isnt working..blown fuse? how do i change it? Thanks guys you always help me with my monte without this forum i would be so lost.

 

hmm well grab ur owners manual and look for the page with the fuse diagram...the panel is on the drivers side, on the side of the dash

 

is there a fuse diagram? i kinda looked through the whole book..ill do it again lol

 

check the back of your acess cover to your fuses...

 

should be a pretty organized diagram on the back of the access panel, either inside the drivers or pass door, i thinnk the passenger, havent looked on my monte yet

 

well its not a blown fuse..its fine and i even bought a new one and still the same thing

 

try switching it over to a diff fuse, if that doesnt work the wire may have fried/melted and isnt good anymore?

 

I think it's internal to the power port it's self, i have the same issue (someone tried to stick a actual cig lighter, and it stoped working from that day on).

i currently have my center console out for paint, and i couldn't see anything wrong with the wiring, or the port... IDK

all i can say is either try an oem replacement or find one in yopur local junkyard (or try http://www.moradpartscompany.com/)

 

i had this exact problem with my monte i checked every fuse on the diver side panel and the ones under the hood....BUT to my surprise i noticed there is another fuse panel door on the passenger side and that were the blown fuse was its a 15 one

 

i have come across the same issue, i have an 04 monte carlo SS, the front one went out, now the back one went out.. did the whole check the fuse thing and just for fun changed it out.. didn't check the passenger side.. will do asap
