Default Front cig lighter won't work....Fuse is good

Please help.. I have two cig lighters. One in the side storage container and one in the front under the radio. The one in the storage compartment works but the one under the radio does not. I already checked the fuse in the kick panel and it is fine. Is there another fuse I am missing?

thank for your help

Mine does the same thing. Try wiggling/twisting around whatever you put in there such as a charger, and it'll turn on.

take out the ashtray just pull slowly and see if the connector is on that side. maybe a pinched wire.

yup! i had an ugly run in with mine as well,
ended up buying a whole new ashtray from the junkyard, but since mine was in better condition, i tried switching just the lighter housing, long story short
pretty much what carbonGS just said,
( i founf out the hard way when i couldnt get my old one out and ended up somehow unpinching the wire, just plugged it in and danm to my surprise the old one worked)

ummmm hope that helps
