Cigarette Lighter and Power outlet problem
Hi, I have a Nissan Maxima 2000.
Any idea why my car's cigarette lighter and power outlet don't work. I using the power outlet for recharging my cellphone. I made sure that the problem wasn't with the cellphone or the charger since it works in other cars.
I have already checked the fuse box, and all the fuses seem to be ok.
Just to be sure do any of you know which particular fuse is used for the lighter and the back power outlet.
If the fuse isn't the problem, anyone else know what could the problem be?
Thanks a lot
Sam

Check the back of the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side. I had the same problem and it was just a fuse. Sometimes plugs accidentally ground out the system (my Valentine One did that once) and blow the fuse. Go ahead and look at that panel, find out which fuse, then replace it. Good luck man

I just called Nissan about the owners manual warnings about the cigarette lighter socket and power outlet in my 2k3. Have you read the manual warnings? They say to only use the cigarette lighter socket for the cigarette lighter, not accessories. THEN, it says to not use the power outlet when the headlights, rear window defroster, or air conditioner are on! That's totally useless.
So, the Nissan rep said that "prolonged use" of the power outlet could cause problems, like draining the battery or affecting other equipment. That seems totally stupid. I think it's more cover their butt than an engineering reason.
No other car I've had says don't use the power outlet when it's hot (air conditioner), cold (defroster), nighttime (headlights), or raining (headlights, again). That just about covers all the times I'm driving!

I did open the hood of the car, and saw the fuse box on the drivers side. The labelling on the fuse box doesn't specifically say which fuse is for the power outlet. It's got labelling for audio, speakers, lights, etc, but there's nothing for power outlet.
Does anyone know here know whats the name of the fuse that's for the power outlet?
Thanks a ton!
