My cigarette lighter has either blown a fuse or popped a relay, and I cannot locate it. I've looked all around the vehicle to include the fuse box and the one under the hood. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

 

I have the same thing, my lighter is not working and it beats me why not. I am not get power to it. I have taken the housing out and checked it. It is fine and the wiring also checks out. I get power from the connector. everything says it should be working, but it does not.

 

I got it figured out. there is a fuse, but it is disguised as a black wire. Very sneaky Acura. This is at the base of the lighter housing and it is about an inch long. You can not tell it is broken unless you can feel it with your fingers. I had enough of the wire left to hook it up again, but you may need to get a new lighter.

 

Much appreciated!

 

I got it working. On the base of the lighter housing is a small wire about 1/2 inch long. It is covered with black rubber. This is a fuse, but you cannot tell that it is blown because of the rubber covering it. Once I replaced it the lighter works fine. Mine blew out using my 12v air compressor. I won't do that again.

 

This happen to me too, every time i plug something into the lighter the fuse blew(fuse box engine compartment). So all I need is a new lighter rite?

 

Im glad you solved your dilemma. That cig lighter is such a p.i.a.!! I cant use my GPS nor phone charger due to it blowing out. I guess Ill put that on the to-fix list.

 

I have always had the problem for the one in the center console storage area, and tonight my little cubby hole one blew. worst part is, i needed it the most tonight, my phone was on 5% battery lol. well ill be doing this this week when i get some time i guess.. glad someone found answers, i couldnt find anything on it in my haynes manual.
