[Mk2] [Turbo] Cigarette Lighter

Post by Signori »

My cigarette lighter has packed in, it used to work fine for my sat nav and ipod charger but now it doesn't. The fuse is fine, and the wires behind have power to them, just its not giving any power out the mains.

Does anyone know if this be a direct replacement?

I'd hazzard a guess and say yes but...

Item location: European Union, Bulgaria

Doesn't sound good.

Go down a local scrappy and rip one out :thumleft:

Have you tried an attachment in there first? Just in case you've broke what ever plugged in there.

Yeh I avoided that one after seeing it was from Bulgaria! I've tried different attachments in it but they get nothing. I've tested the wires to the back of the lighter socket and they have power to them, so I think it's just the socket that's packed in

Mine died like that. I got one off a breaker that hadn't been smoked in, job done :thumleft:
