    Cigarette lighter port doesn't work..

    Alright so for some reason my cigarette lighter port doesn't work. I checked the fuse for it and it still doesn't work. Guessing I have to install a new one? Anyone had a better suggestion? Thanks!

      That's a sign that your car doesn't want you smoking in it lol.
      J/k mine worked then idk it just stopped working. My fuse isn't working so I think there Is a break in between the fuse and cigarette port

          Literally just happened to me too... Last weekend took a 250mile trip with it working just fine...got in to go home and it refused to work. Fuse is good...probably a break in the wiring as said or corrosion has had it's way with the outlet itself. dafuq man

            If you have juice in the 2 wires at the lighter and they are actually plugged in then its likely either a burned out lighter element or the socket itself is toasted (literally and figuratively). The socket is spring loaded in its ashtray home so is not hard to swap and is actually not very costly.

                Check the fuse first, only a couple bucks to fix.
