CLK W208 Power Socket/Fag Lighter Fuse Missing

[Ian_C]

Guys,

Long time no speak, hi again.

I ahve an interesting problem. The cigarette lighter socket/power socket in the car has stopped working, it still lights up at night, but no power.

On checking the fuse for this (fuse 23 under the bonet) there is no fuse ! But how did this use to work without a fuse....ummmm

No one wouldof removed it, so I replace with a fuse and still no power at the socket. Any thoughts on what I try next.....

Thanks for reading

Ian

if you have been working on the radio or something like that, it could be the power connector has been knocked off the back of the power outlet, F23 is correct

Any idea how to get the ashtray/fag lighter out. Got the two screws out, but not easy to see how it comes out.

(Yes, working on radio )

Will try that, with mallet standing by

Thanks Ian

I se what you mean, pulled it out and am running it off a fused supply from the stereo.

The trick was the renmove middle section between stereo and lighter tray.

Cheers

Are you saying that your cigarette lighter is powered by a feed from your stereo?
I guess that explains why the socket used to work without a fuse in.
