Cigarette Lighters Don't Work

I checked the #25 fuse in the glovebox, which is a 25amp fuse - it is ok. I changed it just for kicks.

Still, no power to either in the forward cabin.

I have the flashlight adapter so Im able to charge my phone from the glovebox which is less than ideal.

Any other places / fuses I should check?

Time to trace the wiring.

Did you check your rear fuse index? My facelift has a fuse for sockets back there...not sure which ones they control...but you can always check just to cover all the bases.

And if you go to the TIS website (www.newtis.info), enter the last 7 digits of your VIN, then type in F25 into the search box (and then type the fuse number found in the rear fuse index)...and you'll have access to that fuse's location and wiring diagrams...where you can see how that fuse may be powered and other info.

+1; i think there are some master fuses both in the back and actually by the battery; if one of those blew though i'd suspect more stuff is blown.

a quick way to test for a blown fuse (you can check all 50 ish in a couple minutes); turn on the car, and use a DMM set to DC volts and measure the pins on the top of the fuse; a blown fuse will measure battery voltage, a good fuse will be zero volts.

I had an issue with my front outlet not working... I ended up stopping at AutoZone and getting an assorted fuse kit and shotgunned everything including in the back and the ones behind the glovebox. Got power going to all cigarette lighters after that. Of course I had a a plethora of other issues, but it's worth checking both fuse locations.
