Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I had to have my 04 C2 jumped two weeks ago - I had let it sit for a month due to the nonstop snow in the NY area. I think the guys in the parking garage tried to jump it through the lighter first (not sure, because they were messing around with the car by the time I arrived to pick it up) before finally jumping directly to the battery. Ever since, the lighter socket has not worked. I checked the fuse, and yes, it was blown. Changed the fuse, and the lighter still does not work. Any thoughts? Thanks very much

POST 2Original post

is it the US size lighter for that year 996 ? maybe ur shorting it out when pluggin an adapter in a Euro size lighter-

POST 3Original post

It may have some frayed/burn't wires behind it. If they blew the fuse.

POST 4Original post

If the lighter doesn't stay in when pushed in its the spring metal. You can adjust it with a plastic piece that will fit in there for prying the metal to shape so that it's just the right tension to hold the ligther till the right heat.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The lighter stays in, so it's not the springs. GPS, etc stays in as well, just doesn't work. I'll pull it out and see if there are any wiring issues. Thanks guys.

POST 6Original post

Most likely an open circuit (burned)..... Those wires behind the socket aren't that big (compared to a jump cable). It's meant to trickle charge.... Not jump. Hacks!

POST 7Original post

Mine was dead when I bought the car. It was a fairly easy/cheap fix with a new part from Sunset.
