I have a bluetooth headset piece for my phone, with a car charger, but my cigarette lighter doesn't work, and i've noticed that the light for the ashtray doesn't come on when it needs to as well. I tried charging my bluetooth in my moms odyssey and it works ... but not in my car. i drive an 04 lancer. what could possibly be wrong!

 

a fuse? The bulb could just be burned out and unrelated.

 

I have this same issue, except I have tried changing the fuse and still have the same issue.

 

seriously if its anything like my 02 its a fuse issue. i gave up on that thing last year. ive replaced the fuse 10+ times and the "stock" fuse was a 10 i beleive and after 4 of them i put 20'n on it and the same issue.

the only thing i ever use to plug into the cig lighter was my XM radio.
