Grandad.Malky Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Is it that the lighter isn’t getting hot or is it that there is no power to the socket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishProud Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 lighter dont work, but also when put my sat nav in or anything else into the socket and they don't work, so what i think is, it's iver something electrical or the socket just need replacing.

dink Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 My dad has this as it would work when he plugged his sat nav in, he got a baby wipe in the element as there was aload of crap in it (but please dont do it when the ignition is on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEROSOFT44 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 needs to be checked to see if power reaching socket.if power there then fault lies in socket itself so replacement needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark3628 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I know you say it is not the fuse but wen I got my new car my lighter socket didn't work and I swapped the fuse n still ding work so got a motar electrician to have a look. Turned out the previous owner had put the rong size fuse in. Think shud be a 20amp fuse but there was only a 15amp fuse lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
