Cigarette Lighter Does Not Work

[JohnPaul]

Hi, guys!

First, Happy New Year!

I have recently bought a Ford C-Max 2006, which looks and goes very well, at just 60,000 miles.

But the cigarette lighter does not work.

How difficult is to fix this?

How expensive?

While I have reconditioned a Ford Kent engine, electrics is my weak point.

I have used the boot power point for my sat nav, but it is not ideal, having an extension running across the hand handles up on the inside.

Hi Paul

Happy New Year

Start off by locating the accessory socket fuse in the fusebox :-) check your manual

I know that deserves a punch as its so obvious eeek

If that fails check that the lead that connects at the back of the socket is connected.

Then report back hehhee

Hi Jamie, I looked for anything in the manual about the cigarette lighter, did not find that.

When I get home I will look at the fuse list and check in the fuse box, in the electrical section.

If it is just a fuse, what a pleasure!

I will definitively report back, :D

Thanks!

Best wishes! I will let you know after i get home, round about 20 of January.

I have the good fortune of being further otherwise detained while away...

As they say in the classics,

Keep the shiny side up, and the oily side down! ;)

And may the radar detector force be with you! :D
