my cigarette lighter has broken, and i was wondering where can i buy a new one and how do i fit it.

jason

please help

Is it just the actual lighter bit (the bit that comes out) thats broken or the whole thing?

if its just not working as in press it and it doesnt get warm or no power going to it when plugging in chargers and sat navs, check fuse F44 in the panel on uk drivers side

if you've actually physically broke it (snapped / fell apart etc) dealer time or scrappy time to get a new one

mine kept blowing F44 so the lighter didnt work (light is on a circuit on its own) but as i dont smoke or use chargers in it after the 5th fuse and not finding the fault i never bother fixing it

no i dont smoke its for my sat nav, how do you pull it out im having a bit of difficulty

I'd guess the fuse, as every Fiat I've been in have a dodgy connection there. The hole seems too short, so the plugs of the equipment we put in don't stick tight, the vibrates a bit and creates a short circuit.

you dont- check the fuse first as the unit might not be faulty- what you were plugging in could have blown it

the fuse is F44 and is located in the fuse panel under the steering wheel.
