cigarette lighter assmebly no power?

[csheller]

anyone else have a problem w/ no power to the cigarette lighter assembly? :confused:

just discovered this today when attempting to install a sirius receiver [same receiver worked fine on my matrix. and the working receiver for the matrix also did not work on the yaris].

i've had the car for 2 months and haven't done anything to it until now.

could it be as simple as a fuse?

any and all help is much, much appreciated!

Might wanna make sure all the connections in the back of the plug is ok. i went Waco on one is my truck before just to see the ground fell off.

I have to agree with slvryaris. I had the plug come off the back of a lighter plug more than once. The fuse is also a possibility.

My fuse went out after using a dead phone charger...took it to the dealer and they fixed it within 10 minutes. :wink:

I've had a short in mine since the car was new, i have to wiggle it to make it work

The solder joint on those things are poo. I bought a new car charger once because I was going on a trip and only had my home charger and my phone was dying. Then I seen that Wal Mart carried the generic charger used it once and it never worked again so I threw it aside. then I used the cigarette lighter plug from the charger to turn on my 12 inch cathodes and when I cracked it open I noticed that were the ground connects on the inside of the plug had come off due to a little pissy soldering joint.
