2005 Ford Explorer cigarette lighter not working?
Awhile back I was given an iPod dock as a gift that plugs into the cigarette lighter and plays your iPod over your speakers. After the first use I took it out to charge my phone and it fell apart, I managed to get all the pieces out of the lighter but now it doesn't work. I thought it may have blown the fuse, but I checked it the other day and it was fine, but replaced it anyways just in case but it still doesn't work.
I have another one in the back of the car to use to charge my phone with so its not that big of a deal, but it would just be much more convenient to charge my phone with the front one, so my daughter could use the back for her DVD player or whatever.
(I know this is the text book definition of first world problems, and it's not actually called a cigarette lighter anymore but humor me, ok?)
If the fuse is good as you say my guess is that you didn't get all the parts of the broken plug out of the socket so no matter what new plug you try to use its not making proper contact.
Check the fuzzes there's one under dash and one under the hood. And get a usb charger with a fuzz in it. Or use a inverter
- 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?
- 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?
- I got a 2000 ford focus and the cigarette lighter doesn't work? I checked the fuse and it's fine, I even replaced it, but it still doesn't work. I've even tried different charging plugs but it does nothing. Why won't it work?
