The cigarette lighter doesnt work in my 2004 alero

The fuse for the cigarette lighter and accessory power outlet on your Alero should be located in the engine compartment fuse block. Marked minifuse #34. Good luck!

The lighter socket or the element.
Check the element for burn marks and the socket for debris blocking the contacts.

LOOK IN OWNERS MANUAL IN GLOVE COMPARTMENT.IT HAS ALL FUSE AND RELAYS LOCATIONS.

Check the fuse. If that is not it check for power and ground at the Cig lighter.

Remove the coin/change holder from the dash you will find the fuse box there. On the back of the coin holder you will find a fuse diagram showing location and amp # for each fuse. when replacing the fuse be sure to replace it with the same amp#. Should be a 15 amp fuse. First check/replace the fuse. If that doesn't work I would consider replacing the entire cigarette lighter it runs about 12$.
Thanks,

check the wire nut on the back of the lighter houseing it maybe loose or burnt into.

Hi everyone I am going to answer this question because I had the same problem and could not find any help with it. The cigarette lighter fuse for 2004 dodge stratus sedan is under the hood in the fuse box it is fuse #2 ~20 amp. The owners manual diagram is so small you cant read what the descriptions are...So I hope this helps you all out!!

The fuse is located in the Engine Compartment Fuse Block. Under the hood, drivers side, near the battery. It is a "mini fuse".

If you have an Owner's Manual check on page 5-93/94. It is #34 on the diagram.

Check and make sure there is nothing actually in them. A paper clip or coin may have fallen in one of them causing the fuse to blow as soon as you put a new one in

check the fuse for dome and the map light if applicable
