i tried to charge my cell phone and neither the front nor rear cigarrette lighter things wouldnt work. i made sure the charger was pushed in all the way and did a whole lot of jiggling, etc.

nothing.

my first thought is it could just be a blown fuse?

2000 se

 

well........... did you check the fuse, or just think about it?

 

i just bought the car on sunday and didnt get the book with it, so its kind of hard to tell which fuse it is.

 

it should say on the fuse panel cover

 

i'll take a look tomorrow

usually with my other cars, i've found it just has a number and theres a corresponding chart in the booklets to show which fuse is which, so i didnt bother looking

also i was wondering if this was a common problem

 

mine was a blown fuse. had the fuse replaced by the dealer since i was there for other work. they said it's most likely due to cell phone car charger.

 

when my friend pushed in my cigarette lighter it never heated up and even if it did he knows there is no smoking in my max. however my car vacuum worked fine when it was plugged in

 

I'll go back to the first question that should have been asked... was the car running (or key turned to 'on') while you were trying to charge the phone?
