HELP! Just burned my cigarette lighter

Jkuo · 02-23-2011, 08:59 PM

Like the topic, I drop my metal part of a USB cable inside my cigarette lighter hole than it sparked and it does not work after that. Please let me know what should I buy or do to fix this problem. THANK YOU!

Ok i'll go a step further.

You'll need a mini fuse. Not the normal type.

Look in your glove box. There is a trap door with two plastic clips. Open that. On the back you'll see a peice of paper with the fuse diagram. The symbol you'r looking for is...

- -^--> +

Find fuse number
Profit.
