The cigarette lighter does not work on my 1997 Toyota Camry. Where is the fuse for the lighter?

sometimes ground wire falls off back of outlet or power is unhooked

Here's a link to your fuses. Toyota Camry Fuse Box Location and Diagram

This is more than likely a fuse issue. Just check the fuse that is for the cig lighter. It will likely control both

it may be under the bonnet ,it is usually the accessories fuse,you may also have some fuses under the dash as well......hope this helps.....cheers

List of possibilities:

A) Fuse
B) Circuit(open)
C) Lighter receptable
D) the lighter element is worn

A good thing to check to see if it's just a fuse is try your external mirrors to see if they move, they work off the same fuse as the lighter.

If it is a fuse, and if you are in Australia then the fuse box is next to the drivers right knee area, In America, then next to their left knee. There is also a fusible link built into some cigarette lighters, mine has one. When it blew, the auto electrician was able to resolder the link and get me going again until I could buy a new lighter.

Hope this helps.

contact problem between source i have facing the problem few month ago

The fuses are located behind the ash tray... pull it out and look on the back of the ash tray...may have a diagram on the back of the tray... let me know how you do.

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.

Cigarette/radio is a 15amp fuse located in the panel, middle row, bottom fuse. Basically you have 3 colums and 4 rows of fuses in there.
