The other day i tried to plug in my car phone charger to my cigarette lighter. Ill be damned if the plug didnt fall appeart and inside the cig lighter and then started to spark. A little metal peice from the phone charger was what was causing it to spark while i was trying to get it out of the hole. So anyway now my radio doesnt work, dome lights, power locks. However the windows still work?? I checked the fuses under the drives side and they all appear to be good. The only thing i really want back is the radio. Is it possible that i fried my deck in the process of this mayhem?

 

nah....you popped a fuse most likely...look again.

I've done that to my friend's camaro before....she was pissed but i knew right away I popped a fuse. no worries.

 

if its an aftermarket radio.it might also have its own fuse in the back.

 

Probably the accessories fuse, check it again. That seems to be the majority of the answer in the shorted out cigarette lighter cases.

 

sometimes when a fuse blows, its hard to see. pull them out and test them with a voltmeter. turn it to ohms and see if there is any resistance though the fuse

 

When in doubt, replace it. (Fuses only)
