Cigarette lighter socket not working

Hi Josh...dont panic, keep it simple. First check the fuse. Probably find it to be blown. Replace it and problem should be solved

using a test light check for power and ground for the lighter socket. if this is good then then you know the fuse is good. this indicates that you need to replace the cigarette lighter element. the part that gets hot when you want to light a cigarette.

the cigarette lighter fuse is usually the radio,clock ,instrument panel illumination fuse as well .If these other items are working ok i'd have to say the cigarrette lighter heat element is burned out or there is a loose /disconnected wire to the cigarette lighter socket

hi
your cigarette lighter fuse is located in the trunk fuse box
fuse number 71, 15 amp
good luck

Tire compressor probably draws too much current for the socket. Are you sure it is a cigarette lighter socket? Some sockets are just to provide accessories 12v. Did a cigarette lighter come with this socket? True cigarette lighter sockets are generally fused at 25 or 30 Amps

The lighter socket or the element.
Check the element for burn marks and the socket for debris blocking the contacts.

You had better recheck that fuse again with an Ohm meter..

RELAY FUSE UNDER THE HOOD ,TRY REPLACING THE WHOLE CIGARETTE SOCKET AND TRY THAT IT THA DONT WORK TRY BUYING A FUSEABLE LINK THATS CONNECTED TO THE STARTER THATS WHERE YOU GET YOUR CONNECTION FOR YOUR CIGARETTE LIGHTER

its a 30 amp cos it needs more power cos it is connected to the egnition of your car

test the lighter socket itself by putting a everyday common voltage tester or "multi-meter"in it. place the positive wire on the tester to the center of the socket and the negative to the side of the socket. if no voltage reading, keep the positive where it is and move the negative probe on your tester to a new location that you "know" is a negative like a screw on the door jam area. ( find an unpainted surface"). if you get a reading now then you know the negative on the socket is not connected somewhere in the path. do the same with the positive..... good luck.
