Hi, I have recently bought a 6gen accord coupe (99). I dont' know why but my ciger. outlet is not working. I think it's one of the fuses, but dont' know which one. Anybody know? Thanks.

 

get a test light, hook it up to your negative battery terminal or any good ground... and start probing the tops of the fuses (two metal spots on the top of each fuse) with the key in the on (but not running) position. If you get power on one side of the fuse and not on the other, then you have a burned fuse.

i think the electrical outlet is working(you can always check by sticking a power adapter for your phone or ipod to check), it just that it will not work with the ligther stud.

it's same on my accord, i think it's part of the design(that's why they have the smoker's kit from honda, to squeeze the last penny out of your wallet ) i tried my lighter stud from my other honda and from my mom's dodge van and nothing happen.

or he could just pull open the passenger fuse panel on the side of the dash and read... just seems alot easier to me if he's troubleshooting a possible blown fuse... but hey, do your own thing.

 

I try to plug in the radar dectetor. It wont' turn on, but it works in my other car. I will go to the store and buy the fuse tester..

 

Not trying to be rude, but are you listening?? You don't need any test equipment to test for a blown fuse. It's literally 2 seconds to open your door, 2 seconds to open that panel, 10 seconds to read the diagram, and 5 seconds to pull the fuse out. If you need a test light or fuse tester to do that, then you might want to leave the whole thing to a dearlership/mechanic. If the fuse is good and you still have no power, THEN and only then you should consider a test light. Just trying to save you time and money. Don't make it any harder than it has to be.

 

i had the same problem

 

there are 2 fuses to chk.. under dash fuse box driver side # 8 and pass side # 9 ..if both ok, there is a 15 amp inline fuse before the cig liter relay.. chk that fuse as well

 

they both seem okay and the 15 amp is good too. god damnit. I wonder why it's not working.
