How to Replace Cigarette Lighter Socket 

Ya it's also pretty easy. 👍

Hi Tim, usually fuse if the first thing you look at. Look at your fuses and find out which one is for the covay lighter. If the fuse is bad then you replace and test it again. After checking the fuse it's usually the cigarette lighter but it could be power connection which also could be tested removing the dashboard if you don't have the tool or disconnecting the battery terminals the trying to remove the socket with screw drivers which is possible but not easy. Hope this helps

@@CarModsGarage I figured out that the frame pops out all around the cigarette lighter in my car, and saw that my wires aren't connected, but not yet sure if they are an issue. Thank you for reaching back out!

@@tjpat209 of course no problem and good luck.

Doesn't hurt or cost u money to check the fuse. It could be something as simple as the fuse. If u need just a fuse you at least buy a small pack and replace that one that's bad. That would be a some thing you fixed for less than 5 dollars depending on how much a pack of fuses are

Nice, I'm glad it worked for you! It's very simple.

I'm glad it helped. It might be the tabs that the tool pushed in. It might've broken or it's bent in.

@@CarModsGaragewhat is the name of the tool? Hard to read in the video

@j.c3821 the link is in the description

I am glad my video helps! 🤙

You are going to be fine 👍

It's always good to disconnect the negative from the battery

Try like this first and see if you get to see enough wire. It's pretty simple to pull the dash out. Either way works I think.

I'm glad it helped 👍

I appreciate it 👍

Usually yes. Good luck 🤞

Unfortunately I don't know about the Nissan. Sorry man.

Ya you shouldn't. Unplug the negative first

@@CarModsGaragehow to do that?

@@kitemuort9657 on the battery usually in front of the car. The negative is the one plugged on the - sign

It says that just by disconnecting the fuse you’re good

man I believe it is compatible to everything. All the cigarette lighter I've seen are the same except for the connector that powers it. I could be wrong though but I believe it is.

@@CarModsGarage Thank you

Yes you do

As long as you disconnect the fuse, you’ll be ok

I would unplug the battery and then use a pair of thin plyers to take it out.

Any issues? About to do it on my 96

You need to push the cigarette lighter down until you hear the click. If it doesn't click then a tab could be broken

​@Car Mods Garage thanks for the quick response! I will look at it again.

No you don't. Just unplug the negative from the battery

It's the cigarette lighter like in this video. Fuse problem would make the fuse blow. Your problem usually happens either when the cigarette lighter is bad ( may only need to be discovered and have the contacts cleaned) or could the the USB connector to that you are plugging in there.

@@CarModsGarage Thanks…yes, it’s a cigarette lighter like in this video…sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I bought a brand new USB charger to plug into it, and same problem. So, I guess I need to replace the metal piece like you did in this video? Cheers

@@SteveAtwal yes, that very likely it's your problem

@@CarModsGarage Thanks 🙏 Appreciate the feedback. Just subscribed to your channel. Cheers

Thanks you! Anytime just message and i always reply. 💪🙏

Usually in the fuse box. My truck is under the hood.

@@CarModsGarage was I meant to pull the fuse first?

where can I buy a new tool and fuse?

@@front2427 I got this one amzn.to/3FRTLbf

@@CarModsGarage thanks m80 ill have a look

Hi, you can get it O'Reilly Auto parts or AutoZone. I put an Amazon link in the description

Just pull it. There is no secret. It is almost like taking a plug out of the wall

Pull it out and push it in. There is super simple and there are no tabs locking it

Thank you 😎

I have the link in the description but I think it is a cigarette lighter remover.

👌👍

If you're broke just say that

@@TheMias24 good one.

Sorry lol was a joke, but seriously I get that it is literally a stick of metal but it's kind of useful and it's not something you can really use your fingers with (mine are too big) or any normal screwdrivers (also too big) so I think it's a completely fair charge.

Push it out, or pull it out? I have that same tool and it’s hard enough. I cannot imagine using something else
