Default Cigarette Lighter Died

I was one day plugging in a lighter vaccum for the car and all of sudden the cigarette lighter just stopped working can anyone guess what happened? can it be fixed, is it a fuse?


PS!>>>>Does anyone have a like a schematic of the 2001 mustangs fuse box or something to find out which one i have to replace, oh and its just the cigarette lighter where the shift **** is, the one in the center console works fine.

My first instinct would be to check the fuse...

More than likely its the fuse, it is not a very big fuse to begin with, it definately doesnt like inverters.

There are other things to smoke besides weed and cigarettes, so in which case i agree that i hope you get it fixed

But my friend had the same problem and i think it was the fuse which he fixed, il ask him about it when i can. Just becareful because it works for him now, but instead of just poping out when hot, it shoots out like a bullet. hahaha its dangerous
