My Cigarette Lighter Doesn't Work.

[HairyMerkin]

My cigarette lighter hasn't worked since I imported it around 3 months ago. I have an R34 gt-25.

It's not the fuse, because I checked them all.

Could I need a new cigarette lighter part?

Have you tried another device, e.g. a mobile charger?

[HairyMerkin]

I've tried plugging in my ipod charger, and also actually trying to use the cigarette lighter.

It never pops out, and the light doesn't come on, on the ipod charger.

mine also stopped working, but it was the fuse.

If it's not the fuse, then pull the socket out and check that all the wiring is connected correctly

get yourself a test light or a multi-meter and go looking in the wiring. first find out if the wires at the back of the unit are getting power. then, if they aren't make sure the fuse is getting power. if the fuse is but the wires aren't then you know it's somewhere between the fuse and the lighter that isn't getting power. could also just be the earth wire is a bit dicky if the wires at the back are getting power.

Cigarette lighter is a popular source for power for boost controllers, gauges etc. Could be something wired badly leeching power or from that source

I took the thing apart today, the plugs weren't connected at all. Now it works great.

Cheers for the help guys.

Back on thread, it's good you checked behind. One of the wires at the rear of a former car's lighter had come away from the solder.

Multimeter is always handy as the Gympie man said
