    I have an 05 toyota highlander, the Cigarette Lighter does Not work, I changed the Fuses, I tried even using a brand new *lighter* in the socket thing it goes into with no result.



    I do have power as i can use a cell phone charger in the lighter and the spare one works with power too..



    is there a Easy way 2 remove the plastic mouldings to replace the cigarette lighter unit to skip the above mentioned hassle?



    thanks

Both cigarette lighter ports aren't working In 2109 chevy express 3500. Chevy checked all the fuses. Is there a relay involved
2109, I am answering from the dead pool. via a black hole,worm hole.
and almost 100 years in the future, we end cig ports and charge ports then and went full blown USB v50 AND or mag change slots.
sorry
the truth for many is they have no clue cars can have 2 or 4 fuSE boxes. 2 in cab and 2 in engine bay and even varies by the engine size,
BUT now fully gone, with PURE EV Byzantium batteries. the element found on MARs year 2050, with car EV batteries the sized of breadbox
and recharges in 10 seconds. AND RUNS 1000 MILES .
if you scan the PCM it will tell you what failed, so didnt?
BUT ELECTRIC BILLS NOW $2 PER kw/HOUR.
OUCH BUT A dollars is worth a penny then. oops.

i logged in to 2009 service manual on line for you.
and found.
BOTH UNDER HOOD! ALL 20AMPS
FUSE 38 named: LTR/DLC 20AMPS KILLS CIG (and scan tool both)
AUX JACK 33 IS AUX JACK ONLY.
SORRY NO RELAY YEAR 2009 BUT 2109 , NO CAR FOUND.
'
2019 SAME BOX, UNDERHOOD and again sorry no relays.
FUSE F70UA AND F25UA, 20AMPS BOTH.
2109, WE USE 20AMP BCM REGULATORS NO FUSES MA'/ AND IF YOU REMOVE THE SHORTS IN THE JACKS THE POWER RESUMES , like magic.
AUTOMATICALLY.

The cigarette lighter (3) plugs for my 2000 chevy silverado dont work
The info should be in your owners manual.
There should be a 15 or 20amp fuse in the box near the battery for the cig lighter. There may also be one for "power outlet" or accessory outlet.

My lighter doesnt work, i have two and one doesnt work
There are actually FIVE cigarette lighter/ Auxilliary Power Outlets shown in the wiring diagrams for your vehicle.
The Instrument Panel [1] Accessory Power Outlet (Cigarette Lighter) is protected by the "LTR" Fuse (# 53 - 20 Amp) in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment.

The Instrument Panel [2] Accessory Power Outlet is protected by the "AUX PWR" Fuse (20 Amp) In the Instrument Panel Fuse Block on the left side of the dash.

The Center Seat Accessory Power Outlet and the (two) Center Console Power Outlets are protected by the "AUX PWR 2" Fuse (20 Amp) In the Instrument Panel Fuse Block on the left side of the dash. NOTE: If your vehicle is not equipped with the Center Seat Accessory Power Outlet, or the Custom Floor Console (optional), this fuse position will most likely be empty.

I don't have a solution for this problem(yet) but have the exact same issue with a 2005 Silverado. All fuses are good and the cigarette lighter outlet works fine. I am looking to get my hands on a copy of the wiring diagram for this truck. I suspect that there is an inline fuse somewhere in the system that has blown but haven't been able to locate. If anyone has a copy of the service(or Haynes) manual for this truck, I would appreciate a copy of the wiring diagram that shows the accessory outlet.

cigarette lighter is fuse #5
however, if that is ok then check the lighter/accessory relay

as for your power outlet...
I've searched a few different models and
cannot find that information

the power outlet might be a dealer add-on or aftermarket at which point power supply could be coming from anywhere

Fuses
The cigarette lighter is controlled by the 15 amp ACC fuse. This same fuse allows the Power Outlet Relay to power up. I would think that this fuse is your issue. Hope this helps, and Thanks for selecting FixYa to solve your question.
