Cigarette Lighter not working in 90 Vert?
I tried to use my radar detector in my Vert, and the cigarette lighter plug doesn't work. I don't think I have ever tried to use it in the 2 years I have had the car, so I don't know how long it has been since it has worked. Is there a fuse? Where is it? My dome light is also not working (but it could be just burned out, because it used to work).
Thanks! |
there is a fuse for it do you have power windows if you do and they dont work then it is a blown fuse also i think the clock is on the same fuse does that work

Check fuses, then electrical connections.

does the lighter work? LoL...
if it doesn't, take the bastard out and check for continuity over the wires... |
Maybe a simple contacts are bad?? Whenever there's a problem, check the easy ones first. The housing is ground and the center is your 12V.
If you have a meter which we all should , stab the probe and check if you get 12V then go from there. |

The cig fuse enables the power mirrors, A/C and clock. If the door lights don't work, check the switch at the door. The ground (housing) can get corroded and rusted after years of use. All it is is a philips screw holding it. Sand the housing and spray some water repellent and put it back in . It should work.

it happened to 2 of my cars
try to take the radio surround out and clean up the connection to me it work just fine after that |
Quick Update:
Well, today I had some time to fix the problem. I popped off the plastic piece on the passenger side of the center console only to find a big metal bar. I decided to just try to pop out the cigarette lighter assembly with a flat-head screwdriver, and it popped out fairly easily. It came out with no connector attached. I fished my fingers around, got some needlenose pliers, pulled out the wires, and plugged it back in. Now everything works fine. I moved my Valentine One into the FC while the FD is in the body shop. Thanks for the help! |
