Hey. We got our 2000 TJ Magna VRX a couple years ago and the cigarette lighter socket has never worked. It hasn't been an issue, but I really want to get it sorted out. I haven't done any testing yet as I do not currently own a Multimeter (I will drop into Jaycar after work and get a cheap one). Now I suspect it could be the fuse and if so that should be fixed pretty easily. If it isn't the fuse, I am unsure how to proceed and this is where I am seeking some guidance. Can the barrel be pulled out without pulling off the dash? And if so, assuming the wires are attached correctly, is it likely a new barrel would resolve the issue? Or is there something else I could look at?

Thanks for any advice you guys can offer!

I had a similar problem, it turned out in my case to be the prongs on the socket that needed to be adjusted so that they would touch the contacts properly.

Thanks, I'll check that too!

A friend of mine had a Commodore with the cig lighter not working. She couldn't charge her phone and asked me to help. I put a new fuse in and it blew straight away. I then got a strong light and checked it. It turned out that her grandchildren had put a 5 cent coin into the hole. Removed the money and it all worked fine.
