Cigarette lighter fuse

Post by Domwhitex »

Went to use a cigarette lighter buffer the other day and it was having none of it, the buffer works just not the cigarette lighter, light around it doesnt come on either with the lighter in it and pushed down, reckon it will be just the fuse? If so which fuse is it does anyone know?

I can never get that stupid light to work either
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Or have you checked and cleaned the connections? If you have a multimeter check it's getting power
