Reported cause · Original poster

I had checked the fuse already but had not noticed there is an alternative fuse position (European option only?) and, of course, it was the alternative fuse which had blown!

I replaced the cigarette lighter after taking out my radar/detector and pushed it in just to check it was working.

Check the fuse panel for the lighter - it's probably blown out.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

It worked, but the lighter will still intermitently not work.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I replaced the cigarette lighter after taking out my radar/detector and pushed it in just to check it was working. Its not! And now the lighter is stuck in and wont pop out. Its not warm either so the element isnt hot and, I presume, this means the contacts are not making. I figure I must have damaged the receptacle plugging and unplugging portable appliances. Any ideas how I get the lighter out without damaging anything? Anyone experienced this problem before? Thanks <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

POST 2Original post

Simple - REPLACE THE FUSE! Check the fuse panel for the lighter - it's probably blown out. Put a new fuse in, the ligher will come on and will pop when it heats up.

POST 4Original post

Wow. I was about to post that you can try spinning the lighter or pushing it in manually to get the contacts together. You see, this has happened to me, and that's what I did. It worked, but the lighter will still intermitently not work. Guess I'll check for ALL the fuses.
