Cigarette Lighter
Discussion
I tried to charge my mobile the other day using the cigarette lighter, only to find that it didn't work 
There is power getting to the socket to illuminate it when the lights are on, but the socket itself seems to be totally dead. I've tried the charger in another car, so I know it's not that at fault. Does the cigarette lighter run from it's own fuse, or does it share a fuse with other devices (if it shares with other devices, I'd expect them to have packed up too). If it is the actual lighter socket that has packed up, does anyone know which car TVR 'borrowed' it from?
Thanks,
Dan.

OK, I'll take a look at the socket. Is it easy to remove?

The ones I've seen are basically two concentric cylinders. They're both threaded so you can screw the inner cylinder into the outer one (if you see what I mean) and when they're scrwed together they trap the mounting panel between them. If you unscrew them, the inner part comes out forwards, leaving the outer part free to fall down behind the mounting panel. You need to have access to the back of the mounting panel to screw them back together again.
