Re: Is there a fuse for the cigarette lighter and stereo?...
Yes. check the back side of the fuse plate for a diagram or check them one by one. if you draw too much power from the lighter while the stereo is blasting you can loose a fuse

The thing is, whoever hooked up the stereo would know for sure where the connected into in order to get power to the stereo. If they went off somewhere ealse other than what the factory made to be the power for the stereo it would make sense. In the accord for your year the power to the stereo and the cigarette lighter is the same fuse if it was hooked to the same wiring that came with the vehicle. They may have by accident disconnected the lighter and it's just not hooked up at all. You can check the fuse for the cigarette lighter if you would like. that fuse is in the fuse panel located in the engine compartment and will be in the number 18 position and sould be a 15 amp fuse ( see diagram of the layout of fuses below). If that fuse is bad and corrects the problem then they hooked up to another power source when they hooked up the stereo. I hope this helps you and good luck.
yes the cigarette lighter has a fuse in the fuse box under the dash and is marked as CIG/accs/.
This line from the box must have the +12 on it and should be availabel at the lighter central lead. check to see for short in the heater or assembly becasue the fuse had blown
check your fuses, if it's a factory stereo they should be separate circuits. however, if it's aftermarket most stereos have a 'memory' that needs constant power, so it gets connected to the cigarette lighter.
start with a test light and check for power at the center of the cigarette lighter socket. If power is good, then check for ground at side of lighter socket.
If no power, run wire from power wire of lighter to power wire of stereo, thus tapping the power directly and bothering to trace out where the open int he circuit may be.
