SOURCE: No power to radio, cigarette lighter

This one's the fusebox in the interior of the car; usually below the steering wheel in a panel with a thumbscrew that you just give a quarter-turn, then catch it as it opens; inside are some fuses, which tend to be obvious when they are blown. There's a little legend that tends to be well-lit too, indicating which fuses were for the ligher/'auxillary 12v power' socket. Don't let a failed lighter bust on you; a flaming car is much more expensive than tossing/replacing the bad part or plugging something else in.

The fuse for the cigarette lighter is the 15 amp CIG fuse. According to my wiring book, the fuse box is either behind the console, passenger side for US cars, or under the dash, driver side.

A LOT OF THEM HAVE 10 AMP FUSES IN THE DOOR PANEL.

The fuses are located behind the ash tray... pull it out and look on the back of the ash tray...may have a diagram on the back of the tray... let me know how you do.
