I finally brought a replacement lighter (after mine was stolen by the stealership ) but when i put it in the plug its loose and wont like stay locked in when i want it to light...am i missing something else? when i plug my phone charger in it works fine...soo confuussseeedd

 

i was gonna say wrong size lighter bu i assume they are all the same size.

ive never had a lighter in my car...are there prongs on the side like a charger that you can use to make it tighter?

 

is it factory or a replacement?

 

replacement lighter...has a skull on it that lights up (lol) it sits in there but i cant pop it in to heat it up...theres no prongs on the side..its all white with s a mettal contact on the bottom

 

try a different lighter, it might be the lighter itself

 

get a factory one

 

Did everybody else's maxima come with a lighter? Mine only came with a cover to cover the socket.

 

are you sure it's not just a pretty skull light, i.e. not a lighter?

 

ya im pretty sure a lot of places just sell light up designs that dont function as lighters .. might want to look on the inside or try it on other peoples cars to make sure ..

 

Take a picture of the end that is supposed to light your cigarette.

 

use a bic

 

Mine came with a factory lighter

 

I think you will need to get the smoking kit instead of the lighter, cuz I saw the kit come with a base that goes into the socket with the lighter.
