big_boz Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Just realised my cig lighter socket isn't working, checked the fuse in the driver's side footwell (what a terrible design to Access) and it's fine, before I start ripping the dash apart.....any common issues to look for. I'm gonna pull the dash and check for power at the socket as check 1........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a multi meter and the socket shows zero but I need to pull the centre console to get to the back of the socket to fault trace......
