Cigar Lighter Broken On Is300

[eddiea1]

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help with this. The cigar lighter in the IS300 stopped working yesterday, I checked the fuses under the bonnet but none was marked as being the one for the cigar lighter, does anyone know where the fuse is for it so I can check that before I send it in to the dealer to be fixed

thanks

Think it's either a 15A or 20A micro blade type - they're the smallest blade types. Maplins or Halfords stock them

cheers nice one!

Hi all, similar problem as above, but mine is on a 1999 IS 200! I have checked the fuse and everything is fine with it! I have even changed it for good measure, but the Cigar lighter still doesn't work?! :duh: Does anyone have any words of wisdom??

Cheers guys.

:winky:

have you checked that there is a good connection on the bottom of the lighter unit

the lighter unit has a fuseable link installed for overheat on the base of the unit.

I've got a different problem with mine. The socket works, but when you try to extract anything that's plugged into it, the whole assembely pulls out of the console. Is there anyway to fix this?

I have the same problem as well, does anyone know where the fuse for the cigarette lighter is located in the kick panel

[Steve ( West Mids )]

It's in the driver side, middle column, second one up I think. Look on the panel when you pull it off there is a diagram on the back :)

this may sound a bit daft, but have you checked the socket works. my cigarette lighter doesnt wor, but the socket is still functional as i often use it to charge my mobile phone. it could be just the heating element that no longer works

I had the same problem with mine and had found the plug had fallen off the bottom of the cigar lighter, just had to plug it back on. Was fidly but did it.
