Aurion cigarette lighters

[Viper001]

Hi all

First post here.

I have a 2012 Aurion which has 2 cigarette lighter outlets. One in the front panel and one in the console.

I only use them for charging USB items.

Suddenly, yesterday, they both stopped working. I have checked each fuse in the fuse box and they are all OK. (Although I could not find one marked "cigar" or anything like that)

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Craig

Are you using the same charger to check both? Make sure the internal fuse in the charger hasn't blown if that's the case...

There is a specific 20-amp fuse for the cigarette lighter sockets labelled 'CIG'. This is located inside the car under the glovebox. You'll need to poke your head underneath the dashboard and pop out the black plastic trim that covers the fusebox, but it will be the 26th fuse (bottom row, 3rd in from the right). The diagram on top of the fusebox will help if you get stuck. If that looks ok then pop up your centre console (5-second job) and make sure the wiring connectors are plugged in nice and tight.

Many thanks Full Throttle.

That's where they hid it.

Typical Japanese though. You need to be a midget contortionist to get at it!

Thanks again.

Hi again,

That seemed to fix the outlet under the radio/cd. But the one in the console still has no power. Are they on separate supplies or the one fuse?

Confused! Much.

Thanks

There's another 20-amp fuse right next to the 'CIG' fuse which is labelled 'PWR OUTLET'. It's the second fuse in from the right on the bottom row. This is the one for the power outlet/socket in the centre console.

Thanks. Yes, I found it.

Strange that both would blow on the same day.

But all working now.Have a great Christmas

Cheers

Did you use the same device in both sockets?
