    Front Cigarette Socket broken...

    Hi all, went to plug in an adaptor into my ciggie socket, and it's seemingly not working any more.

    Tried a different adaptor too, still no joy, and my actual ciggie lighter doesn't work either.

    Are there any simple things i can check before ringing up my dealer and taking it in ?

    Anyone any ideas of the cost of getting something like that fixed ?

    Thanks,

    Azza

    Others here may disagree, but I fitted a 20A fuse instead, the wiring should cope ok with this.
    I was running a mains inverter, and they seem to pop a few fuses under load etc... - fitted 20A - No problems

    Just wait for the smell of burning etc....

    Yeah it was on, well, the engine wasn't running, but all the key was turned to whatever position it's known as when the dash-lights come on..
