    Question Cigarette lighter outlet not giving power

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I had my cigarette lighter out for some reason and some coins fell into the outlet. I got the coins out but now the outlet isn't giving any power. Is there possibly a fuse for it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Not to thread jack but I know new threads are hated. My front 12V source is not working even though the fuse is fine (I mean the one by the handbrake). I bought a 12V to USB adapter to plug my phone in but can't get any power from it. The one in the boot (Avant) works fine with it but I can't seem to figure out what is up with the front not working. Is there a common issue I'm not aware of other than the fuse itself being shot, because my fuse is fine. I mean a common wiring failure or something along those lines?

    OF COURSE THERE IS! Did you bother to even check you fuse panel before starting this thread? It’s a 20amp fuse, there is a legend and a fuse tool on the back side of the fuse panel. I use my key to remove the panel.
