Hello guys so the cig lighter isn't working and if I connect a phone charger it doesn't charge, any idea of how can I fix this??


Thanks!

Can I assume you've checked the fuse?
Cleaned out the socket?
Pulled it from the dash and verified the connections?

no! which fuse is it?

Now you're just being lazy.

So I swapped the fuse with the one that goes on the boot and the lighter still doesn't work, it is not the fuse because the old fuse is powering the rear and it works alright, is the next step disassembling the dash?

I'm not certain of this as I've never done it in the LR3, but in most of my other cars, you can pull the socket out from the front of the dash to inspect it.

Isn't the rear power socket on a different fuse from the front? There should also be a relay in the circuit since the cig lighter is only powered when the ignition is on. May wan to check that as well.

yah yah car was on and still no cig. They were 15a blue ones f35 and 47 or something like that...
Also, the front and rear 12v sockets do work so the middle 12v and the cig are the only dead ones

But did you swap the relay with a known good one to see if that was the problem?
