Hello,

The ciggarette lighter is not working in my Golf 2002 1.6.
I have tried replacing the fuse, no good, I notice there was a 20 not 15 fuse in the ciggie lighter place, would this have messed it up? It doesn't seem to be the fuse so can you give me any advice on how to continue?
I need the socket to charge GPS etc and there doesn't seem to be a socket in the boot of my golf either, a 1.6 2002 Golf.

How much would it cost to get this fixed would you guess, is it fixable?!

Kind regards

Alice

check to see if the lighter is getting voltage. some time the wires come loose on the back of the lighter. another thing is check to make sure the lighter has a good ground. Then do come loose and will not work
