955i Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 On my Disco this didn't work and turned out to be the lighter itself. Can pick another one up off the bay for a couple of quid so try that first before you go down the electrical route. Not sure if they are the same size as other cars but could try one from a mates just to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whytie2697 Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah cheers I was thinking that last night might be worth trying a new unit as the wire looks ok as far back as I can see fingers crossed a new one sorts it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlewis Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 On my Ford Ranger the lighter stopped working took it out and found a fuse built in the lighter non resetting item so I soldered a link over it and it works. I think it is so that you do not over load the line with items drawing power form the circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
