No Power To Cigarette Ligter Socket - 15a Fuse Intact

Recommended Posts

All of a sudden the 12V power to cigarette lighter socket of my 97 ES300 was cut off when I was using an electric air pump which was taking power from the cigarette lighter socket.

I thought it was caused by a blown fuse so I took out the 15A fuse labelled "cigar lighter" to inspect. It looked intact. I replaced it with a new one anyway, but still no power to cigarette lighter socket. I looked inside the socket to inspect the metal contacts, they looked fine.

Any suggestions on where else to look at?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I changed the fuse, but it did not fix the problem.

Check the fuse with a continuity tester, or just switch it out with a new, good one. Even though a fuse may visually look good, they can burn out without visible signs.... stranger things have happened.
