Re: Not the fuse
Use a test light to test:
1. The fuse itself when its plugged into the fuse block, (both sides) to make sure the circuit is actually receiving power. You will see two tiny bare metal patches on the back of the fuse; this is where you place the tester probe.
2. If it is getting power, test the wires going into the recepticle itself. Often the cigarette lighter receptacle can be removed, or you can get behind it to do the test.
I have found that these recepticles can loosen up or become dirty inside, creating a poor connection, (especially if the cigarette lighter is actually used for lighting cigarettes. )
