Hey, Ever since I've had my cb7 the cigarette lighter hasn't worked. I didn't do anything to it, and have never been back behind it, so I don't know what could be wrong. Is there anything I can check? (Where is the fuse for it, I'll try looking in a bit) Do I need a new one?

First check the fuse in the driverside kick panel. If the fuse is good, the lighter can possibly just be disconnected. to reconnect you will have to remove your radio and locate the wire coming from the lighter and make sure the clip on it is connected to the one from the cars harness.~~~ Never Drive Faster Then Your Guardian Angle Can Fly ~~~ -

I think it shares it with the radio? I am not sure. Gotta double check on that. But the cig lighter shares a fuse with something I think. You check the plug behind it? Does it feel loose (as in housing kinda wobbbles around)? Thats what happened once to my cig lighter. I just screwed it back down and it got power. Since I think its supposed to contact something in the back.

I checked all of the fuses in the engine bay and under the drivers side, so I'm now looking at the cigarette lighter area. I'm a total noob, so I'm just having fun playing around. I'll see if I can find anything else. But fuse was no luck.Comment

yea check behind it. when i installed my headunit i unplugged the ground by mistake. had to pull it out agian to see what was going on.Comment

Where exactly is the ground. I've got the center part out, but not any part of the dash, does the dash need to be taken out? Also would the light inside the ash tray not coming on have anything to do with this? It looks to me like all the wires are plugged, but I've only got a small slit under the radio and from underneeth where I took out the cup holders etc.Comment

Well I checked the wiring right behind it, and it doesn't feel loose. And all fuses are good? Any other solutions, should I get a new cig lighter?Comment

i dont think cig lighters get messed up. the problem should be where u plug it on. or the wiring.Comment

The lighters themselves do sometimes go bad... and at about 2 bucks..... its worth it to replace it...
if that doesnt work, you might need to take out your radio and look back there at the wires....I think there is 3 if I remember right...the connections could be corroded.. or they could just be loose.... if they are corroded go down to walmart or something and get some connectors and the tool to attach them, cut the wires put on new connectors and that should do it...Comment
