2005 Chevy Malibu cigarette lighter and port don't work

I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu. The cigarette lighter and power port don't work. Even though the fuse looked fine and tested fine, I replaced it. Still doesn't work. There are three fuse boxes and I think that I checked every fuse in all three. BUT, is there another fuse somewhere that controls this as well? Or, could this be not fuse related at all?

SOURCE: cigarette lighter doesn't work

before u pull panel, check for 12vdc with voltmeter inside lighter socket. If u have it, then clean contacts and/or replace lighter(not socket, wiring is fine) May save a lot of work. If you don't have voltage are you 100% sure you have right fuse and not the one below, above, or next to it? I still make mistakes with numbered fuses, which number is for which fuse. To make sure I start counting at 1.

SOURCE: Cigarette lighter fuse location on Ford Escort ZX2 2002

I had exactly same problem. I could not use my GPS or charge my cell phone.
In front of the driver sit, there are actually 2 fuse boxes. You probably found the first one. A second one is located above well hidden. Once you find it, you'll find the fuse you are looking for.

There is no correlation between the three concerns you have other than the fuses related are in the right side junction block. Did you check the fuses located on the right side of the instrument panel?

What fuse box is my lighter fuse in 2005 chevy malibu classic

The cigarette lighter fuse on your 2005 Chevy Malibu Classic is located at the rear end of the car. To access it, pop open the trunk and look for a fuse box on the driver side of the vehicle - it'll be under a carpeted cover. Remove the cover, then the lid of the fuse box, and you will find your lighter fluid in the middle on the bottom row.

My cigarette lighter is npt working in my 2002 chevy malibu and i don't now what number fuse it is. i have looked on both sides of the car and can't make sense. i no longer have the owners manual...

Cigarette lighters usually are allowed power thru a 30 Amp fuse.
I'd check each side of the 30A fuses in the fuse block under dash with a circuit tester.

Hope this helps...
