Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / January 2007Fix cigarette lighter output
The cigarette lighter output in my Mitsubishi Lancer 2005 is not working. Does anybody know what the problem is? Is it possible to fix myself? If not, how much do you think it will cost to fix it? Thank you. > The cigarette lighter output in my Mitsubishi Lancer 2005 is not > working. Does anybody know what the problem is? Is it possible to fix > myself?

See if the fuse is good and if there is voltage on both sides of it. These lighter sockets can also become corroded internally to the point they will not make good contact with the plug you insert. Be sure the metal body of the socket is properly grounded. >The cigarette lighter output in my Mitsubishi Lancer 2005 is not >working. Does anybody know what the problem is?

If that doesn't work, replace it either with a dealer part or one from a junk yard. |
