My radio and cig lighter just went out last nite while i was driving home. I searched and found out that the cig lighter fuse is connected to the radio as well, thats why the radio and my cig lighter is dead. The one question I have is, Where do I find the fuse for the cig lighter. Can someone give me some help with this fuse problem? Anyone got a diagram, or for the people that have had this problem, where is that lighter fuse?

its the closest fuse box towards the cabin in the engine bay

take a fuse checker and check them...unless you have a manual and know which ones you need to check

In the 3.0,there is a fuse box on the left side of the engine bay when you are facing the engine. is that the box you are talking about? I dont have a fuse checker, so hopefully, I can find out which fuse it is before i try to replace it. By any chance, do you know what kind of fuse that fuse is? how many (i think) watts or volts? thanx for the reply.

is your clock like half on? is so then you prolly blew your radio backup fuse (7.5amps) check that fuse

The clock still works and it doesnt look like its dim of any sort. Just the radio(alpine head) and my cig lighter does not work.

I just had this problem yesterday, blew a fuse by ripping out my cig lighter and radio, I think the cig lighter wires touched. In the fuse box under your hood, you want to find the blue 15 amp fuse. It's in the longest line of fuses I believe third or fourth one down? If you have the fuse box cover or the manual it shows it. I had blown the 15 Amp, and my radio was dead. Check that. There are also the interior ones, there are 4 total radio fuses, but the one that I blew was the one under the hood. Good luck

I went 2 days, and fixed it on the 3rd cuz I couldn't take listening to my shitty laptop speakers anymore

I fixed it. It was the 15a fuse for the radio/lighter. I had to replace it twice because i think it shorted the first time because i didnt reset the ecu. Second time, i resetted, then put it in. This time, it didnt short, and everything works. Thanks for the replys.

I was listening to my ipod with those crappy earbuds for two days. Those ear buds really stink.

glad I could help. I checked all my fuses internally, then went another 2 days without my radio even being hooked up. Was driving around lookin like I jacked my own shit, no radio or bracket in the center console. Least it was an easy fix, once I dug into the fuse box under the hood
