Raz Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Have you tried looking under the trim behind the socket. When i got my Black Glanza it didn't work (the ligher) One day i looked behind the socket taking the plastic surrounding it off. it just wasn't plugged in. Plugged it in and worked fine.Has it ever worked before? And does your Stereo work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nazzurro19 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 right im sitin in the car now and cant figure it out tge socket is shiny clean no corrosion or rust any other ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stulet-GTT Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 You must have fuse in fuel pump????That melted one dont look good.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bartrumboi Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have heard these have got a resistor that burns out when used on high power things for a long time. a good check to do is to get a multimeter if you have one? link the positive inside pin in the socket to the outer part (negative) with a bit of wire and then check continuity between the two spade connections on the back. Mine has currently gone atm after using a cool box on it for a couple hours so going to get mine out in the next couple of days hopefully will let you know what the problem with mine was!

nazzurro19 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 yeh i multimetered it no continuity and the wire between 2 points has snapped or something so im guna get a new socket as the wires that connect to it read the right voltage ive put 4 new 15a fuses in for lights cig socket and fuel pump i cant see why there wasnt one in fuel pump - if uts fused at the pump and the fuse box nothing will happen will it?
