So today i plugged in a 200 watt invertor into the cigarrette lighter plug to play with my laptop, 5 mins later the Cig lighter did not work no more. I checked all the fuses and they were ok. Anyone know the part number for the cigarrette lighter? I might as well buy a new one. Or can someone let me try out their cig lighter (swap) to see if i blew something else rather than the cig lighter?

 

is there a posibility that you fried the wiring going to the lighter or do the wires look ok?

 

Theres really not much to break on those, you probably missed the blown fuse or worse, melted the wires.

 

How do i check the wires? Cut them? lol

 

Oh by the way the green ring around the cig lighter that lights up still works... im going to check the fuses again right now.... There is a specific cig lighter fuse right? i do remember seeing one.

 

:ywia:

 

^^ i did it the ghetto way. I pluged my computer fan to the cig lighter harness and turned on the car, wala! it works. Now all i gota find is a new cig lighter.

 

Haha go to the recycler on sunrise

 

gotcha, thanks!

Oh and by the way... today i accidently dropped the bolt from my bpv > intercooler into the engine bay and i cannot find it!! Its not on the ground nor is it on top of the under tray... i tried using a mag stick for 30 mins! nothing! Is this a bad thing? I know i can get another bolt from lowes or HI but is having a bolt stuck on the engine a bad thing?
