Back seat ciggy lighter not working

talltimtam · 31-05-2008, 01:09 PM

The ciggy lighter that you use to plug in for getting power for my new dvd screens for the back seats for the kids isnt working so I am having to plug it into the front ciggy lighter.

The car is a W211 2004, anybody got any good ideas where I should start to look for troubleshooting ?

Thanks

In the W211 there are 3 fuses - 1 in the boot, one in the cockpit - and one under the bonnet they don't tell you about

Caused me no end of problems with mine!

Found all the fuses boxes in teh car, but there is no diagram in the car or in the manual that I can find that tells you which fuse is which. I am a bit scared to pull out each fuse and check them one by one incase the car does a HAL or me.

Anyone got an idea the number of the fuse that protects the back ciggy holder ?

Many Thanks

Should be fuse #13 in the trunk, 15A.

The fuse list is a small folded piece of paper in the one in the cockpit

I checked fuse number 13 as suggested and it had blown. Lunch time visit to Halfords tommorrow to get myself a replacement.

Many Thanks
