Hey Guys,

 

I just recently bought my '90 300ZX TT, but the cigarette lighter doesn't work. Anyone who knows what fuse needs to be replaced where or what to do please reply... thanks a lot

Is yours a UK or Jap?

 

The fuse box is located by the accelerator pedal. There is a cover you can take off, the fuses are under there and there is a diagram of what fuse is what on the other side of the panel you take off. If its a UK car its in english, if its a Japanese one its in Japanese :D

Have you tried plugging a phone charger in or something, make sure its not just the heaty up bit first???

Must take a long time for our posts to get to Canada!! lol

Hi,

 

I would do the following:

 

1) check the fuse as SRRAE has said.

2) check the lighter socket by plugging a mobile charger of or anthing else that may be powered by the lighter.

3) Take the console off and check the connection is plugged into the bottom of the lighter. To do this open the ashtray and lift the lid up to pull the unit out. Undo the screw under the ashtray panel. Take off the stereo surround (two screws either side of the vents (under small inserts), two screws in panel below vents. Once this is off remove the gear knob and the two screws at the front of the console (you will see these when you remove the stereo surround). you should now be able to pull out the console (need the arm rest open for this) and check the connection.

 

Good luck.

cant remember the exact fuse no, but its in the fuse box in the drivers footwell.

Is this any good
