My Ciglighter stopped working just last week, I used it like only 3 times and now it doesn't work. I even tried the aux. one, nothing. And I've checked all the fuses.
I have a '99 and mine work like new. The only thing I had a prob with is the Aux one coming out of its spot. I think thats just b/c of the neons getting put in and taken out a lot.
never had a problem with mine. I gutted the aux. cig lighter and just kept the metal frame piece, the frame now holds a switch that fit perfectly in it.
