That's a blown fuse if the lighter won't pop out.

Default Find the blown fuse and replace it with the same amp rating (20, etc) as was there

You can buy the blade fuses at walmart, kmart, radio shack, autozone, etc.


Really easy to find, really easy to do.

Your manual even tells you how to do it.

Take care,

Default my lighter has never popped out in 4 years, and fuse is fine...

the cell phone charger works and it has power, but it has never ignited. I was told the igntier behind the dash is probably dead
