Some of them dont have lighters in them. you have to insert your own.

Testimonial: "I was starting to think that's what was going on. I'm not a smoker myself, but wanted to use it to charge my cell phone. Usually if a lighter is not part of the package, there is a rubber cover over the hole. In my case, there's just a big hole next to the radio. I'm sure you are correct. I will have to order one. Thank you very much for your reponse. Appreciate it! :)"

SOURCE: cigarette lighter not working, already changed fuse

Look in your manual for the Power Distribution Box reference in Roadside Emergencies. It should be located under the hood on the driver's side. My 2002 Explorer has two power points on the center console and the 20A fuses in the Power Distribution Box for them are number 7 and number 9. They cost $3.99 each at AutoZone. The cigar lighter fuse under the dash is unrelated.

SOURCE: Radio and cigarette lighter won't work 1996 Ford Ranger

Read your manual .It tells you were the fuses are.. If you use a test light,the terminal at the bottom of the lighter socket is positive and the barrel is ground.Don,t touch the two,or you will need another fuse. The fuse panel is on the left end of the dash.The cigar is #17 and radio is # 20

Hi, the diagrams are included in the owner's manual starting on page 129. You can download one here: https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/owners_manuals/default.asp

The lighter fuse is in the inside panel (by the brake pedal, fuse #3), and the others are in the box under the hood (#10 and 11).

How do I remove and replace the cigarette lighter socket on a 1998 Buick Riviera

The entire trim around the ash tray/cigarette lighter pulls forward, allowing access to the rear of the lighter socket. Remove the electrical connection and then turn the retainer counter-clockwise. The socket removes from the front. Reinstall reversing the procedure.
