How can I change a cigarette lighter in a 1998 GMC Sonoma? I received a GPS as a gift. The lighter does not work, already checked the fuse. How can I get power to the GPS?
Answer: Many vehicles cut the power to the lighter when the ignition switch is off. If you have no power at the lighter outlet with the engine running you need to test the circuit, the outlet
is very simple and they rarely fail, fuses and relays are a much more
likely cause of the trouble, did you check the fuses by looking at them
or by using a test light? I never trust a visual inspection – I have
found broken fuses which were not visibly blown.
