Volkswagen Cigarette Lighter Repair, Easy Fix, Common problem 

My cousin, he's a mechanic but I don't speak to him often, serviced my car for me and my cigarette holder hasn't been working since. It didn't bother me at first because I still haven't passed my test but I am ready to take my test now so I want it to work so I'm able to keep my phone charged when commuting. Nobody I knew could tell me what was wrong with it, but I came across your video and checked the fuse for it- low and behold the fuse needed changing. Thank you for this video, it was very informative!

man people like you save lives.... im telling you.

😭😭😭just fixed my car with this video.. Im a mechanic now. Thank you so much. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

You are a genius my friend! Thank you for saving me a trip to the dealer and saving me who knows how much money!

It never ceases to amaze me what you find on RU-vid. My cigarette light stopped working, was driving me mad. Thought I had to replace it....until RU-vid!! Thanks dude....saved me a lot of grief"

What can I say my good man, that was the easiest fix EVER. Decided to do it just now even though it's totally dark. Took no more than 3 minutes. Lighter now works

Very easy fix ... what helped me is the fact that you pointed out the drawing being flipped around

Yesss just fixed mine! Very helpful video, I would have never known the fuse panel was that east to access :)

unreal, thanks for the upload. i figured out my 12v socket was broken about 30 mins ago and now its fixed.

Brilliant- thank you! Wanted to get a DAB adapter but because the cigarette lighter output wasn't working thought it wasn't gonna be possible with out getting a new stereo- saved us a load. Cheers!

Thanks to you, you just saved me my job 👍 excellent guide also same car and exact same fuse spot :)

Thank you so much !!!! I have been without a phone charger for months because of this

Thank you so much! I follow the instructions and succeeded. Lighter works like a charm now.

Thank you! You've just sorted my old Skoda! :)

Thanks a lot mate ... You saved my life 😂

You're actually sick the amount of thing you've helped me do✔️✔️✔️

Great video mate, I'll try that tomorrow in the light...thanks for the info

This was exactly my problem! It was driving me crazy, checking all kinds of wiring possibilities. Turns out it was a rogue 5 pence piece. Many thanks my man, wishing you a fantastic 2021 - I hope its everything 2020 was not!

Here 5 years after thank you ... its helped!

Thank you! Again from the states

Nice video. All very clear and easy to understand, thanks!

Thanks for this! Now I can finally use my 12V outlets after more than a year of not being able to charge my dang phone!

Big up ! Sorted my problem thanks man !

Thanks for the video! Mine went bad, and I don't use it much, but was going to use it for GPS and it wasn't working. This did the trick.

Worked, thanks!

Thanks, work like a gem :)

Thanks mate. U really saved my time and money togo to mechanic. Very informative 👍👌👍

loved the video. very helpful 👏

Boiiii you just saved me from changing the whole socket bc I just changed the fuse a couple a days ago and today I dropped change in it but I didnt think it was the fuse until I saw this vid

Had the same problem thanks gr8 vid👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

thank you man you taught me a lesson

Brilliant clip.... Wanted 30 pounds at local garage ... Thankyou.....👍👍

worked for my 03 golf was situated different to yours so thx

Thanks a lot today i hve learn how to do it by myself with video as guide thanks a lot

badass fix thank you it was the twenty amp fuse

Brilliant. Let me go give it a try.

Very good tutorial thanks

Changed fuse and that's it Thanks😁

good man helped me out

LOL, i actually thought this was too simplistic an explanation. So it turns out that after removing all the dashboard searching for a cut in the wires, it was the passenger 12V cigarette lighter in the back that had a penny stuck deep inside. Thanks for this.

Big help thankyou 😘

Thank you sir very much. I need it for long distance driving

Magic! Thank you!

What a legend!!! Dankie🤣

I have a Volkswagen Polo and my friend thought it would be a good idea to see if a USB would plug in without the adaptor! He fused the socket obviously. Without this video I probably would have ended up paying £200 or something to get it fixed. Thanks!

Lol 👍 thanks you saved me alot of time.

Tnx man, helped a lot

Thanks a lot man you save my Day

Danke schön, das war ganz praktisch

Thank you 😊

Thank you!

Thanks pal. It work 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Good video, saved me 1 hour wait in Halfords

That's exactly what happened to mine lol ..thanks man

Thanks, I realised the info-panel for my fuse box was reversed. Found the blown fuse. Now I can charge my phone and plug in my compressor. Nice!

Your brilliant paid 25p for fuse, now working all good.Garage ask for £100.00 lady driver’s get ripped off. You beautiful person you’re the best 😍🥰

Thank you so much this eas very helpful

Very helpful thx...

excellent video

Merci !!! Je me suis vite retrouver,et j'ai réglé le problème

have you tried another lighter?

thanks helped out alot

Super reportaj..

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Good job

Useful vid. thanks

Thanks very much very useful

Thank you helped a lot it was the fuse and i already checked but when i so you r video i looked aging and it was the fuse lol.

Thanks for the video - not familiar with the Polo fuse panel but I shouldn't have any probs with doing it myself now!! Only thing is I'm puzzled as to why the fuse blew - no coins down it and I was charging my phone Monday night and today I wanted to do the same and no power. Hope it doesn't blow again....

Thanx mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.

Thanks

Damn I did not look the good fuse on the card board. Strange logo. Indeed the 15 one is burnt ;) Thanks, you saved me again

good video once again. isit possible that you have any videos on how to solve why 9n polo front wipers work then stop after a while

Nice vid

nice video, can you do one on a mk4 wagon with dome, map, trunk and door puddle lights not coming on problem? (also the climate control back lights do not come on either). The a/c illumination light works. Dashboard and radio lights work fine, door locks & factory alarm work fine.

i just dropped a 10 cent and it sparked. i swear to god if this works....ur the best!

Thank you
