    My cousin, he's a mechanic but I don't speak to him often, serviced my car for me and my cigarette holder hasn't been working since. It didn't bother me at first because I still haven't passed my test but I am ready to take my test now so I want it to work so I'm able to keep my phone charged when commuting. Nobody I knew could tell me what was wrong with it, but I came across your video and checked the fuse for it- low and behold the fuse needed changing. Thank you for this video, it was very informative!

    @FasterThan_4G 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    need some advice, I have a B5.5 passat wagon with one lighter in the front and two in the back cargo space, I want to set up a dash cam but all of them are always on even when the car is off so if my cam is plugged in it'll kill my battery. How can I get these to not be always on or do I just have to use my front one and plug/unplug it everytime I get in and out of the car? cause I can route the wire all the way from the back and it fits just right which is why I want to use the back lighter in the first place

    Great video mate, but I have a quick question. I drive a 99 mercedes slk230. I did blow out the 15 amp car lighter fuse and also found out that it disabled a few other fuse slots when I checked it with the volt meter to see if there was power. When I started the car, it was smoking. I didnt know where it was smoking from until the nest day. I found out the fuse for the car lighter was blown so I replaced it. Boom.. Right away it blew. and now my car wont start. It cranks, but it wont start. In your opinion, and with your experience, what do you think could be the cause. Oh, by the way, the wire from the fuse box which is under the hood to the cigarette lighter had melted the outside skin. You could see the bare copper wire. It only melted that one and that's why it smoked.. What can I do if I;m broke and have no money to spend on taking it to the shop. How can I fix it at home? Any response would be much appreciated. Thanks again for posting these awesome videos. Have a blessed day

The light will come on and the car won't rev pass 3000rpm. When I leave the car for a while and start it up again it revs perfectly fine. And after driving it a little bit I switch the engine off then on and the engine light turns off. Also I've not ive been getting very bad fuel consumption any help work be Great thanks man
