Cigarette lighter not working
Hello. I have a 07 2.3 manual ranger. My right cigarette lighter is not working. I checked the voltage going to the cigarette lighter from the connector and it didn’t have anything. The fuse is also not blown. Any ideas?
Cigar lighter plugin is different from a Power Point plugin, but both can be tested the same way
In a 2007 Ranger, the Cigar lighter fuse is #29(20amp) in cab fuse box, it also powers the OBD2 port
This is usually on the left side of radio
The Power Point plugin is on the right and uses fuse 34(20amp), it can not be use with a cigar lighter, it is strictly a 12v power source, and full time power not a key on/off circuit
If fuse 34 is OK then either the ground wire or 12v wire may have come off the back of the power point
If you or previous owner put in a new radio that connection may not have been put on securely or was left off
