2001 VW Golf - Changing Cigarette Lighter Fuse - L2P2014

VW Golf (2001) suffered several minor problems - all seem to relate to fuses or electrical problems. Cigarette lighter not working. On youtube it seems 95% of problems relate to simple fuse change & cleaning of connectors. I need this to charge phone / use sat-nav, etc. Any trouble shooting suggestions? Tried cleaning connections, checked fuse, not blown, all connectors seem sound.

Also, all fuses seem mucked up - the rear wipe won't work, if I change the cigarette one, it sets the front wipers haywire, squirting cleaner fluid & keeping wiper blades moving! Is there a simple, CHEAP way I can look at fixing this myself? Or do I have to take it to mechanic - and is any of it dangerous to fix myself?

You need to check that the correct fuses are in the correct locations.Unfortunately it is not easy on these as the fuse card/map plan is for a left drive car ,so the references are mirror image.If you are not at all sure,take it to a garage /mechanic.
