My cigarette lighter/power source isn't working

The cigarette lighter/power outlets on a 2010 Ford Focus are referred to as, "power points." The are two power points on this vehicle, designated as power point 1 and power point 2. Power point 1 is powered by fuse #15 (20A) while power point 1 is powered by fuse #3 (20A), both of which are located in the battery junction box at the left rear of the engine compartment.

The lighter socket or the element.
Check the element for burn marks and the socket for debris blocking the contacts.

I had a similar problem I thought it wasn't the fuse because I had only checked one but there are two cigarette fuses. Also you can replace the whole cigarette lighter if it is getting power to it. If it isn't there might be a bad wire leading to it. Get a test light to see if it's getting power through the fuses hole.

Should be under the steering wheel like any other car. There is a box. Just open up the box (You may need to pry off the cover with a flat head screw driver). I own a 91 Explorer and there is a diagram right on the back of the cover along with a fuse pulling tool. The owners manual will also have a diagram. Look for the terms "Accessory", "Lighter", "Socket" etc. Any Ford I've ever seen supplies power to the cigarette lighter even when the car isn't running so it will be easy to test.

I know this isn't a standard "fix" but what we do is to use a cigarette lighter to cigarette lighter jump start.

While this type of "jumper" doesn't work very well to start a vehicle, it does get you power enough to open the hood and other electronic openers.

it should be in the fuse box under the hood or under the dash, if you can't find it there it may be at the back of the cigarette lighter itself, if the cigarette lighter isn't working it may be the element, try plugging something else into the socket to see if there is power there....hope this helps.....cheers

By all means, ck all your fuses first. Sometimes they blow if someone holds the lighter in.

The power wire for your socket is connected to the ignition switch. For the socket to operate without the key, the power wire must be relocated to a direct power source or directly to the battery. You can locate a "hot" source by using a 12Volt tester on the terminals of the fuse box. Just touch the tester to the terminals until one lights up without the key on. That terminal is "hot" and will allow your socket to have power at anytime. You should use a power source with a fuse for safety. You can hook directly to the battery but you should add a fuse inline to be safe.

To test if the cig lighter works buy a 12volt test light at radio shack and test the center of the cig lighter to see if you get power there.if you don't then there is a blown fuse somewhere check the fuses in the engine compartment?
