plug a cheap jumper battery cable into the cigarette lighter. They are the kind that has a cigar lighter plug at each end. Or, hook a 9 volt battery to a cigar lighter plug. That should be enough to operate the trunk switch.
By plugging the GPS into the cigar lighter socket only takes power from the vehicle electronic circuit and is not connected to the vehicle engine management system, so i dont see how it can be connected. iSeeing as it is putting on the warning display it would be wise to get the car tested for faults using an OBD2/CAN reader, this should shed more light on the problem. Most mechanics have this reader .Hope that helps
part of the rear of the cigarette lighter is a built in fuse which blows when shorted. Fix is a new cigarette lighter are a lil soldier acrodd the terminals. Be carefull not to use the earth one though.
This is a fuse problem, check the fuse, it will either be marked lighter or power point, the fuse box is to the left of the steering column it has a plastic cover over it, inside the cover the fuses will be marked on a diagram. If the fuse blows again the cigar lighter is shorted, you will have to replace it, most times the lighter element is the problem and not the well it fits into.
