12v cigarette lighter sockets not working
As title, the 3 12v 6 amp cigarette lighter type plug sockets in our 2013 Lunar Lexon don't work. Everything else seems fine - 12v lights, pump, flush, radio etc.
Just these plugs, that we use to charge phones etc, not working.
Any thoughts anyone? Advice greatfully received.
Many thanks,

Many thanks for the quick response. I looked at them all, couldn't see a problem.
I've just been swapping 10A fuses around and have found what appears to be a dud. Still can't see it blown though.
Anyway, new fuse required.
Many thanks.

Something you have plugged in is too powerfull ,so it blew .I had to uprate my socket fuse as the tyre compressor blew it

Write your comments here... Not a good idea to uprate fuses in a circuit. The fuse rating is set according to what the circuit can safely take regards current draw. If you put a bigger fuse in and run the circuit at a higher load than it was designed for you run the risk of melting cabels or even a fire.
There was a post recently about the electric pump Bradcot supply for Air Awnings. It has battery clips fitted for this very reason as it draws too much current for a normal cggie lighter socket to handle because of the cable sizes that are used in most applications.

New fuse. Problem fixed. No melted socket
Cause - a compressor had been plugged into it.

Had the same problem, so now I run my compressor from the car's 12v sockets, with the engine running of course!!

Correct Response N T H !!

P.S. If these are the 'Bladed' type fuses might I recommend the slightly dearer version with an LED which lights when the fuse has blown -- saves a right load of mither on a dark night or in a dark corner !

Thanks, ABM, but I don't want a gold star, just another purple one will do!!
Great tip about those fuses, too.
