Honda Civic Illusion 1998

[gill3891]

Hi everyone,
quick question....I have recently bought a 1998 honda civic illusion, only to find that the cigrarette lighter doesn't work. Does anyone know if this can be fixed (it's not just the fuse, I have checked) and if it can, any ideas where+how much it would cost (ball park figure?)? BTW, I'm in Newcastle upon Tyne with access to Liverpool, Manchester if anyone knows of a specific garage that will do it? Thanks guys and girls!

Give up smoking Gill then you will save your health, save money on the cigs and save money on fixing the lighter!

The jokes on you superidiot....i don't smoke, it's for my ipod charger! Stupid!
Any serious answers from people who have a brain?!?!

Did you test it with the i-pod? or could it just be the lighter cartridge that's goosed (the bit you pull out).

I tested it with the ipod charger, which does works in other car's lighter outlets. It's not the charger, it must be the connections within the lighter itself. Any ideas?

Give up the ipod Gill then you will save your hearing, save money on buying a replacement ipod when the battery dies and save money on fixing the lighter!

sometimes the unit can just fail, you can buy these at most car shops and are not expensive. you should be able to pull the old one out with the wire still attatched and disconect the old wire, conect the new wire and push the new unit back in- job done. 2minute job
