No interior lights/cigarette lighter

Radiodanno · 23rd January 2017, 08:31

Hello

Recently I picked up a dealer spec Wedgwood car which I'm very fond of. The seller was honest and said the interior light and fag lighter didn't work. I, ever the optimist, hoped and assumed it'd just be a fuse issue. However, I've changed both (even though they were healthy) and no joy.

Any ideas?? I'm reasonably happy to get an auto electrician to rewire something to another fuse/straight to battery but the light is an irritation.

If you can help I'd be grateful.

Not sure about ciggy lighter but interior lights might turned off? Press and hold center button for 5 seconds I think turns them on or off.

Light re-set, as post above.

Are you trying to use the cigar lighter with the engine switched off.??

Some are live all the time and some are not.---

Light reset didn't work.

Cigarette lighter refuses to work at all, in whatever state.

Apparently pulling the battery for 30 minutes can help, other than that I'm snookered.
