i've had this lil "annoying" problem for about a year ago.. ya see.. my cig lighter doesnt work at all... when i first bought the rig.. it was fine.. but after a few mins.. when i tried to use it.. i kept blowin the fuse that my stereo ran off of... an attempted to fix it... after a few days like this.. it seems i blew the cig lighter completely. it doesnt work at all... the ilium light works but the cig lighter itself doesnt... i say its annoying because i'd like to plug my cell into it an various other things.... any ideas on how i can fix/replace this? thx for any info.

Okay, 1st, to remove the little bugger...
Take out your Ash tray, and unscrew the 2 screws holding the bracket for the ashtray and take that out as well..
You will need SMALL hands for this...soo much easier heheh. The cig lighter is held in there by a nut at the back, you need to unscrew this and you can take the whole unit out (1/2 from back, 1/2 from front). Kinda hard to explain but have a fiddle and you should be able to work it out.
Then your best bet is just pop down to supercheap or somewhere similar, take your ciggy lighter with you and find something that matches.
Find a good spot to wire it in, maybe put a fuse in or even run it straight from the fuse box...
Hope that helps.
