12v cigarette lighter socket not working 2002 - Front / Working? DR-Y8 Waterproof 12V Cigarette Lighter

The typical car cigarette lighter requires between a 7 and 10 amp fuse, with the maximum being a 15 amp fuse

The wire inside the fuse is likely to be broken, blackened, or both

If there is continuity, the fuse probably isnt the problem with your cigarette lighter

A spilled coffee or soda is another classic culprit, leading to corrosion on the metal contacts that prevents a good connection

This guy shows where the test points are: Thats funny, I was just reading This thread and was going to post about checking fuses like that

The heating element inside the lighter could be damaged, or the internal parts may be broken
