Vauxhall Astra - Cigarette Lighter - gedi mk2

Hi,

A pretty basic but very annoying problem now that technology relies on the lighter!!

Previous owner had some "fantastic" internal LEDs wired in to lighter, so that when insert was pressed in and sidelights or headlamps were on, they came on.

Insert would never heat up, nor would phone charger/sat nav work.

I've removed the lighting, but still no joy with phone charger etc...

Could it be a fuse? I've probably over looked this as the "wonderful" lights worked,

but looking for any suggestions before I go dismatling dash to fix (or not)

The lighter/power socket is ignition/key controlled.If the led lights worked with the sidelights on,then it is possiblt the socket has had the wiring altered.Certainly worth checking the fuse.Not sure which one it is on this has you have not stated year/model of car.
