When trying to tap into the cigarette lighter power, I used my multimeter to test the voltage. To my surprise it wasn't getting any. My guess is fuse blew.

Where is the fuse for that lighter?

 

should be in the kick panel fuse box on the drivers side. 10 amp IIRC.

 

i have a simmilar problem
any update on this?

 

is it plugged in?

 

yep but also the radio light and the headlights icon don't come on

 

Yeah, check your kick panel fuses. Open the driver door, the behind the panel that is right next to the floor to the left of where your left foot would be. There should even be spare fuses.

 

so which fuse should be it
and how do i tell if it's blown?

 

Since none of us remembers which one is the lighter fuse lol...just try pulling out all the fuses in the kick panel. If you see a blown one which will look like this



just replace it with a fuse of equal amperage.

 

haha alright i'll see what i find and let y'all know

 

checked all the fuses and still nothing =/ any ideas?

 

I Have the same problem except the plug in my middle console doesn't work instead, let me know if you fix yours if it wasn't a fuse problem thnx

 

found the problem
it was a fuse but it was the "illiumi" one in the engine bay not the kick panel

 

Yup, it's a series-distributed circuit between those bay and kick panel fuses. Already been discussed (search) which is why all of us were too lazy to re-look it up.

Keep in mind that the fuse blew for a reason (over spec current draw somewhere). Just changing the fuse may not ultimately remedy your problem.

 

did you install anything recently?

 

yeah everythings fixed now and i was installing gauges and the ground touched another wire while i was wrapping them with electrical tape (i forgot to take the key out)

 

it would be more prudent to disconnect the battery.
