I just replaced my fuses for my cigar lighter and power outlet.

I didn't realize that i needed the low profile fuses but after putting in the regular ones they work fine, they just stick out a bit.

It this going to be an issue?

Side question, i read that you shouldn't put anything in the cigar outlet that draws too much power because it will blow. Will a iphone 5 charger be an issue?

thanks

 

My phone actually doesn't charge in the lighter I can only use the one in the console. Is mine broken or is everyone else like this too??

 

A regular fuse will work just fine, I had to use a regular one to be able to use my hard wired radar detector. You should not have any issues.
As far as the cigar outlet I have a 3.1 amp 2 port usb charger for my galaxy s4 and my gf iphone 5 and have not had any problems. Hope this helps

 

Does your light work? did you check the fuse? its just left of the e brake with a plastic cover the side of your hand.


Thanks for the info

 

light as in lighter?

 

there are 2 power outlets.

One is this


and the 2nd one is under the arm rest.

I'm assuming the first one is the one not working. When you push in the lighter does it heat it up? I have seen peoples lights work and not be able to use the outlet for anything els because there was a grounding issue.

If you push in your lighter and it doesn't heat up check your fuses.

 

Figured that's what you meant. As a matter of fact I don't have the actual lighter so I wouldn't know. I'm assuming since my phone charger doesn't work in it that it's broken

 

So I pulled out the cigar, put it back in and still nothin. Notice it's like a turquoise blue and it's the only one like that? Something's fishy

 

I'm having this issue myself but I know the cause and it just might also be yours too. I was dropping change in the little cubby next to the cigarette lighter and a penny just so happens to hop inside the opening. I got the penny out with some needle nose pliers but after that it stopped working. I replaced the fuse and still nothing. I'm just going to switch out the whole cigarette lighter port, hopefully that solves it. Here's the link to the part I'm going to replace it with.

What year/model is your car? my fuse box does not look like yours

 

06 coupe

 

Oh that explanes alot

Is the turquoise blue fuse blown?
It should have a bit of brown on it if it is, like this:


Btw you need to buy a new fuse to replace it with not just pull it out and put it back in if it is blown.

 

No def not blown

 

Take a look at this thread.
