Ciggeret Lighter / Charger Fails To Work.

[Johan007]

Hi it stopped working when I yanked the sat nav out the other day. Now it fails to work. Is there a simple fix or do I take it back under warranty?

Check the fuse first. If it is OK, then you might have unplugged/torn a wire that was connected to the lighter.

The fuse on the charger is fine cos I used another charger to test it on. The heating ellement on the lighter fails to heat up.

There should be a fuse in the fuse box under the dash. It may be labeled LTR, CIG, PWR or something similar. Probably the 15 amp variety. Easy enough to change.

Thanks will do.

Hi,

I had this problem when I pulled my satnav charger out of the socket. Took it back to the dealer and they fixed it under warranty- very simple. Turns out I had blown the fuse and broken a wire inside the lighter socket.

Cheers,

James
