i have a 96 TL 2.5, the ciggarette lighter wont work, i just bought a gps and realized it wont work because my outlet isnt working...? i have no idea how to fix this, somone says check a fuse but idk where that would be? anybody knwo anything about thissssssss? thanks:wtf:
i havent checked any fuses yet, i know theres a fuse box under the hood to the front right and then another fuse box i think in front of the passenger seat somwhere down there im not sure, but i hope thats the problem because i have no idea what else it would be...
These cars have 2 fuse boxes as it typical with Honda. The main fuse box is under the hood on top of the driver's side front wheel well. The one for the interior is along the outside of the leg well where your left leg would rub if you were driving the car.
Fuse under the hood
First check your fuses. If that isn't the problem try this: take a small flat head screw driver and gently bend the two prongs out a little bit. They are used to hold the lighter in place so that it will operate properly. If your lighter works with the key off remove the fuse first. As for replacing the lighter there are two wires connected on the back side you'll need to remove them. On some lighters you will have to unscrew the outer body to remove the lighter others have a nut that has to be removed. Access to the back side of the lighter is always a pain and how you gain access depends on the make, model and year. I hope this helps you.
ok so i searched both fuse boxes today and all fuses were good and there wasnt a fuse for the ciggarette lighter, therefore i have no idea what the problem is now :wtf: ....maybe i need a whole new plug lighter thing?
yeah ill have to order one, and yes im pretty sure that relay would be under the hood in that fuse box because there like isnt any in that small box inside the car
