Thread: Help w/ electrical stuff

well my original issue was resolved now this is another electrical issue that i've had for quite some time. My front cig lighter port doesn't work. the one next to the ebrake works fine.

how can i find what is the cause? possible connection? or can i splice the wires for the one that doesn't work to the one next to the ebrake?

thanks

chris

I don't think that all those things are on one circsuit, hence one fuse.

Check the fuse box behind the coin tray under the steering wheel.

Check #10 fuse behind the coin purse. The doorlocks and rear defogger is controlled by the smart entrance control unit. That fuse powers the "ignition on" signal to the control unit which then powers the defogger/door lock relays. The "ignition on" signal is used so that the unit knows that you put the key in the ignition on position before you can operate any of those.

Also check #12 for the door locks.

mine did the exact same thing and it was due to a bad ground cable connection after my battery relocate

thanks for the quick response, its too dark now to check it, but i'll try to get to it later if i feel like being outside.

thanks again

which fuse is the # 10 and # 12?

heres a pic of the back of my coin holder

damn i can't believe its been 2 months since i had this issue but i got around to switching out the fuse on 10 and 12 w/ the spare and it still didn't work. my keyless remote, rear defroster, my unlock buttons, and my dome light when set to door doesn't turn off, all still do not work.

anything else i can try?

someone said try to use a new ground?

Look into a new smart entrance control unit.

Bump

Check all grounds

I had this same exact problem. There's a fuse in the fuse box under the hood that needs to be replaced. I can't remember what it was called exactly, but I think it was something like Room Lamp. That's the one.

thanks for the help, i'll check it out when i get out of work and let ya'll know how it goes

the one that says cig lighter, does that control both?

do you know what the power socket controls?

I'm not sure which is which, but I see no harm in checking both...........

I would guess that the one you're having a problem with is the one labeled cig lighter, but your guess is as good as mine.

It should take less than a minute to pull the two fuses and make sure they're good.

alright, i'll check both but i was thinking that if its possibly a fuse, wouldn't the cig lighter port near the ebrake not work?

Not necessarily. There are two different fuses. Just check them. It only takes a minute.
