Car cigarette lighter/power socket not working any ideas?
I have a 1993 Ford thunderbird and I want to know how to fix it and how much it would cost?
First, check the fuse box. If you do not have the cars manual and the cover does not show which fuse is what, try to google it. Check the fuse that is used for the cigarette lighter. If it is blown, replace it. A pack of fuses will run you less than $10 at your local automotive parts store. If it keeps popping the fuse then check to see if a coin or foreign object is lodged in the bottom of the cigarette lighter socket. You can also replace the whole cigarette lighter assembly for something up to $20 I believe.
Probably just a fuse or loose/bad wire
First thing… Check the fuse.
- What's going on with my cigarette lighter in my Ford Taurus? When I try to plug in a phone charger, it works but I have to play around with the wire because the connection seems weak. I thought it might've been a fuse, but I tried putting a cigarette lighter in and it was hot. What can it be?
- Power windows and power door locks not working on my ford ranger? I have a 2000 ford ranger lte and the power windows, door locks, and power mirrors are not working… Where is the fuse? Are they all on the same fuse? What do you think I need to check?
- 12v outlet (cigarette lighter) in my 2009 Ford Fusion seems to have come loose. How can I fix this? There's still power coming to it, if I hold my phone charger in a certain angle it will work, but I can't constantly hold the charger while I'm driving.
- Stuck Ford Focus Cigarette Lighter? So my ford focus has a Stuck cigarette lighter. I've pulled out the panels behind the 2006 (i think) and I have the panel with the lighter in it (unplugged ofc) Now I'm wondering how I can get this out, I've tried prying it, But it's stuck to the point where it's fully plunged in. -Any ideas?
