Corsa SXI 02 reg: cig lighter socket

[udder]

I have a vauxhall corsa sxi on a o2 plate.

Recently my cigarette lighter socket has stopped working. My sat nav is plugged into it and for some reason has stopped working. I tried a few other things in the socket but nothing.

Now the light around the socket is still lit but there is no power. Would this be a problem with a fuse or would it be something else?

The light around the socket is still working so it won't be the fuse, looks like you need a new lighter.

Sometimes the elements go or the contacts break.

The above answers are a little misleading

The light around the socket is more than likely on the same circuit as the rest of the illuminated switches - i.e. completely separate from the power source/circuit for the item its illuminating - this is the case for most modern cars

I would therefore presume that if there is no power in the socket and you have tried a few devices to ensure its not the sat nav that�s broken - then the fuse to the cigarette lighter has blown.

BTW on the corsa I think its called an 'electrical accessory outlet� which may help you locate the fuse

Danny is correct.
