for some strange reason my cigarrete lighter will set stuff on fire, but wont power any ciggylighter-power'd goodness such as phone chargers, ipod cradles etc. etc..

 

is it supposed to be this way? or is mine just borked?

have you pulled the front off the dash the wire may have come un done

yeah but if this was the case wouldnt it stop working as a cigarette lighter as well? it still works fine for that, but it wont power stuff

ok read the post wrong don't know why then

the problem probably has something to do with corrosion, for 6 bucks from super cheap you can buy replacements that should just plug in, with little mods.
