The two cigarette lighters in my BMW 740il do not work and it is not the fuses. Any suggestions about what the problem could be?

Do you mean there is no power? Or do the lighters just not get hot?

There is no power. The fuses seem fine. When I plug in my GPS system, there is nothing there, yet it works in my other cars.

Checking the fuses in the trunk might be the thing to do.

Where are there fuses in the trunk. I have a 2000 740i e38/m62. The one cig lighter in the console has no power (checked with tester and checked fuses in engine compartment) any suggestions?
