IHK 11 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi does anyone know why my cigarette lighter keeps blowing a fuse? My cars a 1990 Audi coupe e. Ever since ive owned the car the cigarette lighter has never worked. I removed my centre console around the handbrake and the gearstick and discovered that the cigareete lighter to disconnect the auxilary gauges to change a bulb and discovered the connectors wernt plugged in. I thought maybe theyd come out and when i put them back the cigareete lighter would work. When i plugged them in ensuring the wires were all in tact the same fuse kept blowing. Do you think this is a problem with the wiring or maybe the actual cigareet lighter? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks from Ian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turlough Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 My instinct tells me to test 1, the cigarette lighter itself for a short and 2, the unit the cigarette lighter goes into. Sounds as though there’s a short in one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
