Default Cigarette lighter doesn't work

Hey my cigarette lighter doesn't work in my EG. I checked the fuse to see if it was burned but it wasn't. What else can be the problem? Thanks...

check to make sure the harness is plugged in behind the lighter.

also see if you can get 12v out of the lighter now, maybe what you are trying to plug into it doesnt work.

if your cell phone adapter is working, then it's your cig lighter.

This is a common problem actually. Your cell phone adapters and other adapters have streched the metal in the lighter outlet.

Not sure how you can fix it, since I have never bothered to fix that problem when I came across it in my old car. I usually just broke out the bic, and if I didnt have one, I just held the cigarette lighter pushed in for a few seconds to heat it up.

if after 10 seconds the lighter isnt hot, then your lighter is definetly bad.

Maybe someone doesn't want you to smoke?

Seriously, pull out the panels and check it from the back/inside...

Where is the fuse located for the 12v power supply 96 Cx?

Car charger works in Accord, but not my EK. Panels are pulled to make sure it's plugged in
