Cigarette lighter under gloxbox not working

asad5150 · 09-04-2017, 04:48 PM

Cigarette lighter under glovebox is not working. I have checked the fuses 66,69 and 162 and they are all fine. I have also tried different USB adaptors in the socket under the glovebox but still not had any luck. Any ideas what could be the issue?

Did you try emptying out the glox first? I've heard too many glox in one place may cause interference in the 12V spectrum.

Sorry what do you mean by glox ?

I think it works it's just VERY weak. Mine was the same. The one in the center console with a plastic cig lighter came dead on my new car. I read that's the case "normally" or "usually" for some cars right off the boat to USA. Messenger.

I'm sorry but this is not at all correct. It should have correct voltage and work perfectly. Mine certainly did.

Is your car an E90 or F30?

Mine works great. The one in the center console does as well.
