Cigarette lighter don't work!

(1/2) > >>

rich3000:
Well I finally have joined the ranks with a 300TDI Discovery, no problems with it, except the cigarette lighter doesn’t work, not really a problem but I want to be able to charge my phone (and other gadgets! :D ) Tried replacing the fuse and no joy. Any one no why it might not be working or how to fix it?  :?
Many Thanks
Rich

Fitz:
Does it only not work with your phone charger?

Try a different plug.

Have you tried a test light/meter on it?

May just need a clean inside or the metal contacts on the side bending out a bit.

Depending on what you want to run on the socket, it might be a thought to re wire it with better wire and fit an in lie fuse, if the 300 is like the 200 its more like speaker :?

Looks like its going to need to come out and either be rewired or a new one put in! It'l keep me busy anyway!

The word missing of that posting was wire

Might be worth it, not a hard job if you can run the cable though the bulkhead ok
