You can check for power if you have access to a test light. The very center should have power. Its a simple 2 wire circuit. One is power ( middle) the other is ground. Usually it is a blown fuse. Did you just look at the fuse? Or did you use a test light to determine that it was good?

2007 Toyota Camry. Dome light, radio, cigarette lighter, horn and clock not working and all fuses are good on both fuse boxes. Any one knows why?

All of those are controlled by or influenced the BCM. You need a good auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool to check the BCM and communication to and from it.

Cigarette lighter not working,already change fuze for 2002 4door explore, what to check now?

use a test light on cigar lighter, put probe in center of socket and the ground on outside of cigar socket or any other good ground. if power to socket, this will tell you if the cigar socket is bad and needs replaced. if it has power and lighter does not work, then its the heating element itself thats bad, the part that heats up! good-day !

Interiour light dosent work *** lighter dosent work

First thing to check: fuse(s) for the cigarette lighter/power port, which may also be the same fuse for the interior lighting that went out. Could post the location of your fuse box (most Hyundai cars have 2 - one under hood, and a second under the dash (where your power port/interior lighting fuses are most likely located)), if you could clarify which model/year/engine size Hyundai car/truck is giving you problems.

Door and visor lights will not come on,is it a fuse? I lost my owners manual

Fuse #21 is a 15A that covers the interior lights, cigarette lighter, and clock. Are those other items also not working? If so, it is very likely the fuse. If you're connecting something like a cell-phone charger to the cig lighter port, that might be causing a short to blow the fuse...

Interior light or cigarette lighter not working, have checked fuse box but does not show for cigarette lighter or interior lighting (2003 Nissan Almera 1.5S)

That's where a $5.00, 12 volt test light comes in handy. All you have to do then is touch tip on ends of fuses to see if they are good or not. No pulling fuses and no head scratching wondering which one it might be. If you have power on one side, but not the other, you found the blown fuse. It certainly is not uncommon to find the bad fuse, labeled wrong, or added in with something else that makes no sense at all.
