who's front cigarette lighters don't work?

Post by dilly »

96 and up with the 3 12v jacks in front and the 1 in the back. both the company vans front 3(a 2000 and a 97) never worked since we bought them and now my uncles 98 just stopped working. the wiring must be rubbing on something. anyone else have this problem?

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

Mine would work if the console that goes over the dog house wasn't int he back of the van :rolleyes:

There is a single connection for all 3 of them plus the light in the glove box thingie between that console and the dog house. It may not have been reconnected after it was pulled at sometime. Take it off and check. It's only 2 torx screws and 2 13mm nuts to take it off.

if you have had work done recently you might want to check the plug and make sure it is connected there have been a few times that they have forgotten to replug it on mine.

never had an issue in any of the 3 vans 93,94,99 ... I'd suspect, as mentioned, the plug has come undone ... possibly the fuse popped for some reason?

Another vote for the console not getting plugged back in after it's been removed. That or a blown fuse.
