Cig Lighter Prob.
The other day I was charging my phone in my cig lighter and it cut off, and cut my radio off for about 2-3 seconds as well. Long story short, I've checked ALL of the fuses in the car. And have yet to find the test lamp to check wiring. Any suggestions on what could've happened. Radio still works fine by the way.
Cliff Notes
Vehicle: 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse
Problem: Cig. Lighter No longer Works.
Attempted Solutions Thus Far: Checked Fuses.

Re: Cig Lighter Prob.
Replace the lighter itself probably (the element likely cracked/split), check the positive center wire leading to the female portion of the lighter assembly. Cant remember if the Eclipse fuse does the lighter -and- radio or not, I thought it was dome light on the Eclipse with the lighter. If you dont have your tester available and dont mind replacing a fuse, take the center lead of the lighter assembly and touch it to ground (really not a recommended practice but... if you must).

Will give that a try.
Forgot to add that I checked to make sure they were on all the way as well.
