Yes this a easy fix. Penny is out right? Look in your owners manual. This will tell you where your fuse panel is and what type of fuse to replace.
Good luck and thanks for your question and I hope my suggestions help. Don't forget to rate me.

    Thank you... I'll try that. I heard that the owners manual is incorrect in most VWs but it never hurts to look. Oh and yes the penny has been removed.

Penny dropped into the cigarette lighter of my 2008 saturn astra. I got the penny out, but the cigarette lighter doesn't work

hi,

there must have been a weak connection somewhere in the line.
use a volt meter to trace from the lighter to the fuse box.
I have also seen the wire connection go bad during a short in the back of the fuse box itself where the wire goes in.
follow the 12 volts and you will find your problem.

Where is the fuse for the cigarette lighter socket on vw passat 2006 The manual I have is incorrect

I found the fuse. There is one in the door for the front Lighter but the one for the rear lighter is under the dash with all the relays. You have to remove the bottom of the dash panel and the fuse is in the panel with the relays.

Cigarette lighter in 99 passat v6 not working, but power plug in trunk functional. Do they use the same fuse? If so, what could be wrong with lighter plug?

They run off of different leads. Check fuses first then if nothing check wires then last change cig lighter outlet

Cigarette lighter shorted out trying to get a penny out.

put a circit breaker in place of fuse. use a regular compass and run the compas around wiring and if compas moves thats where the short is within 6 inches. shorts create a magnetic feild
