The cigarette lighter in my EL is not charging any phone i connect to it, im not sure exactly what needs to be replaced, but could someone link me to the parts that i need, and how to replace it.

Did you check/replace the fuse? Does your cigarette lighter still work? Does your charger work on another vehicle? More Info please.

here's a video from u tube using a Saturn

I'm not sure how to check or replace the fuse, the cigarette lighter doesn't work, but the charger does work on other cars. I've searched but have been unable to find a tutorial of replacing the fuse for that specific car

-Look under the dash, below the change tray

-Remove the cover marked "fuses or fuse box"

-Find the diagram that looks like this:

-Pull the fuse for the cig lighter (should be 10A, red)

-Determine if it's blown or not:

I will try that, thanks.

I pulled the fuse out, was not blown. Found out the problem was the cable connecting the car to the lighter was unplugged so i attached them together and voila we have power.

Thanks very much for the help
