My cigarette lighter doesn't work. It did, for a short while when I picked the car up, but it just stopped working.
It's not the fuse, that's been tested with a multimeter and is fine.
There's no power at the plug that connects to the ciggy lighter, but the red light comes on that surrounds it when the lights are switched on, so I'm assuming (always dangerous, I know) that the earth wire is OK. I suspect a break in the 12v supply cable to the lighter.
The wires look to join into the loom down the left hand side of the gear lever assembly, then disappear into the bottom of the dash.
Where does the cable go? Does it come out of the taped loom to a connector somewhere? Or is the simplest thing to do is to run a new cable to the fusebox?
Thereby lies another question, how does the lower dash trim panel surrounding the fuses come off?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
