One of my ciggarette lighters went bad which sucks cause I am planning a road trip and I need both working (dvd player,GPS, phone charging). Anyone know how to fix it or replace for a small cost? Thanks!!

 

Did you check the fuse? Has it worked before? There isn't really anything to go wrong with cig lighter part in the dash. When a cig lighter quits working it is usually the element and they can be replaced for a couple of bucks.

 

It was working up untill about two weeks ago. Never thought of looking at the fuse. Since I have two should I be checking for two fuses or just one for the cig lighter? Is the fuse to that under the steering wheel? Thanks.

 

On my 98 ZJ I have 2 fuses one for cig lighter and one for aux. outlet. My fuse box is in the Pass. side kick panel.

 

Cool Ill check it out. Thanks

 

There are two fuses as stated above for the XJ... and they are in the pass. kick panel... I would def. recommend checking those... otherwise I am going to say it is a wiring issue if the socket itself doesn't work... if it does work and just a lighter doesn't then it is the lighter itself which won't bother you using it for DVD players and such... just can't smoke...

 

I have a WJ so I think my fuses are on under the steering wheel. Anyone wanna confirm that?

 

Seems like there is only 1 fuse for the cigar lighter see below.

X2 on a fuse as a probable cause. And as stated earlier, there is a separate fuse for the lighter and the power receptacle.

 

does anyone have the fuse number for the power outlet and the cig outlet?

 

Maybe this will help? http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...tification.htm

Did you find any resolution to this? I have the same thing happening, but my fuses are fine (I always go there first). Mine is the 20amp power outlet that is down, the "lighter" outlet is fine. No clue how to go about changing it.

 

Is this for your 2000 Grand? If so there's a cigar lighter relay. http://www.wjjeeps.com/fuses.htm

Also check the PDC if it's the one in the rear. http://www.wjjeeps.com/misc/power_dist_ctr_02.jpg

 

Ah, very tricky Chrysler....I'll check that relay tonight. I should have looked there too. Thanks for the diagram (I guess again, since its in the post above, duh)!
