12V dash socket not working
« on: 12 August 2009, 13:58 »
Hi,

I've just noticed my 'cigarette lighter' socket next to the gear lever in my 06 GTi is not working and have searched for help on this already but not come up with much.

Can anyone please advise what I should check, and how to dismantle the dash to get to the socket to check the connections. I'll check the fuse tonight (but the socket in the boot works...) although I'm not sure where the fuse is located yet.

All help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike

....

It was a fuse when it happened to me.

Check your Handbook to see which fuses do what.

Has happened to me, new fuse sorted it.

Think the one in the boot is on a different fuse.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the help. It was indeed the fuse, or rather lack of it! I've put a 25A fuse in and all sorted now. It was fuse #24 from memory.

Cheers,

Mike
