I have a cigarette lighter socket which has stopped working after refitting
a replacement plug from Maplin onto one gadget.

Fuse is OK, cigarette lighter works (gets hot) and I have power at the
bottom contact according to DVM. Also checked that the centre and
associated contacts can supply a handsome current.

But when I fit in an appliance with a cigarette plug, I don't get any
power to the appliance. Have tried a few!

Any ideas as I feel a bit stumped?


It seems that 3 things happened.

1 The fuse went in the sat-nav cigarette plug.
2 The in car mobile phone charger seems to be u/s.
3 I'm convinced the new replacement plug doesn't make contact, though can't
see why.

Change fuse in sat-nav and it works!
