My front lighter doesn't want to work I checked the fuses in the drivers side panel and on the passengers side panel and they are both good. Does anybody know of any other fuses or do I have to replace my lighter ? If I have to replace the lighter do I have to remove the center console or can I just pop it out from the front ?

 

cig fuse is in the fuse box under the hood by the battery and coolant res.

 

realy?.i looked at the fuses and it shows that is on the sides of the car...i have lost both my cig. lighters and the fuses are fine ..........
now your saying under the hood by the batt.? what one is it if its there?

 

look at the cover and it shows what fuses are what.

 

i did that and no sign of cig. lighter under the hood ...only on the side byt the drivers door it shows a fuse for CIG. but the fuse is fine

 

 

well crap, coulda sworn... but yea drivers side panel only...

try checking for power at the fuse with a test light. then at the socket using a ground other than the grounded part of the socket. last check at the socket using the grounded part of the socket.

 

just make sure what ever you do that you dont test teh fuse for your air bags!!! IT could blow them on you and it is not a cheap repair.

I actually have a small peice of tape on that fuse so i dont cause anythign to hit it by acc.


But you can also check the connections for it.
they are in the center council . to get it off .

1. pull down the leather shift boot carefully.
2. set E brake
3. push clip out of shift handel at the top of the shift lever with small screw driver or a awl (even a nail will work good)
4. pull shift handel straight up.
5. then in the center council at the front (under the dash) pick up the rubber mat.
6. pull the one screw out of it there.
7. open up center cubby.
8. gently pri up on the top part of the councial with a screw driver or anythign you can to pull up on it.
9. once it is up you will see two plugs under there where the heated seat switchswill plug in if you have them (if you dont they have power to them great keyed power switch )

but the cig. lighters can both be reached there and you should beabel to see the wires there eaily enough. if you ya need to do it you cna change them out easily also.

Good luck!!

 

holy crap that sounds like alot of work lol

but i have to get it done..oth are not working and theyare handy to have .....like charging the phone lol........
and space..they are gone i bought 2 new lighters and i get nothing ....so the only thing i can think is the wiring is fried?.......so i will try and do what MICKEY said ..
thanks guys

i love this place.....

 

the bad part is this is not the source of the wireing i belive it is up under the dash there is a plug there for it behind the stereo or in that area.

If this is the case you can either rewire it and cut the harnes. OR
youcan go to a bone yard to find one and get the whole thing.

OR my fav.
Rewire it but you cut the old harnes that is bad up and get teh plugs on it then rewire it with those int here so it looks and functions like factory
