today i pulled my tomtom cable out of the lighter socket and it pulled the socket out so then i took the ashtray out and couldnt quite get to it so took out the lower dash small part where the stereo is so i could get to it better. ive worked out how it attaches back and that there is a green cable that plugs in the bottom and also 2 cable to the green light inside it but after putting it all back theres no power to the socket just the light comes on, i checked the small fuse wire on the base on the holder and its not blown and checked the fuses in the engine bay all ok is there anything else i should check or im missing...?

 

The fuse for the lighter socket should be under the drivers side of the dash, it is on my early classic.

 

ah ok mate cheers ill have a look.

 

all sorted it was the fuse, replaced and working again nice one...

 

Was it under the dash?

 

yeah on the drivers side in the footwell there is a little box with all the fuses for the internal stuff.

 

Cool Glad you sorted it quickly

 

yeah so am i, i was about to buy another one off ebay but glad its sorted now, (stupid tomtom cable ridiculously tight) anyway cheers.

 

I've fitted a new socket for the satnav/phone charger in mine, it's on the SIDE of the centre plastic trim, facing into the passenger footwell. Makes life easier.
