1996 Neon: ligher does not work

Did you make sure there is a wire going to the back of the lighter receptacle? Just stick a light probe in the middle of the lighter well, and see if it lights up. There is supposed to be battery voltage in the middle of the hole. Sometimes the those lighter elements, the part that you use to start your cigar, burn out. Those replacements are about $4.

i think its a line fuse cigar lighter/ power outlets go direct .

There may be more than 1 fuse. Marked Cigerette lighter or convience outlet

WILL THE ENGINE START AND RUN?YOUR WATER PUMP MAY HAVE SIEZED UP..NEED MORE INFO

Your post is just a tad bit confusing. In most cars these days they have a ciggarette lighter as well as a power port or two.

Is your cigarette light port and your power port, in your eyes, the same thing? If yes, and you've checked the fuse and "it appears to be fine" then I would say that you have a short in your wiring that for some reason isn't tripping the fuse. Unlikely though.

I believe in one car I worked on had two different fuses that went to the ciggarette ligher. Maybe just maybe you have a few different fuses running your ports and you checked some of the fuses but not all of them.

Most cars have fuse boxes in the following locations: Engine Bay, Glove Box, Drivers or passengers side kick panel, trunk.

The most likely spots to check for a fuse box is to the left of your legs while sitting in the drivers seat and underneath the hood.

Hope this helps out,

Replace the lighter, if it still does'nt work you might have to replace the lighter casing.

hi how are you? yes there is a fuse for the cigarette lighter.it may be combined with some other componants that may also be not working.

look in the manual, it's more specific than the back of the fuse panel under the hood.

May be with other accessories like radio, or something. Might need to purchase a cheap 12v test light. Always good to have one around for such problems.
