What are the reasons for no power in the Sagitar cigarette lighter?
2 Answers
The reasons for no power in the Sagitar cigarette lighter are as follows: Poor contact in the cigarette lighter: It may be a problem of poor contact. If it doesn't fit tightly, there will be no power. However, the cigarette lighter power source usually doesn't fail. It might be due to prolonged disuse leading to poor contact. Try pushing it all the way in and turning it around once. Fuse damage: It may be due to a damaged fuse. Open the fuse box, locate the cigarette lighter fuse, and remove it. Generally, the fuse box has spare fuses. If replacing it works, then the issue is due to a damaged fuse. Loose wiring: It may be due to loose wiring contacts. First, check if the wiring contacts are loose and if the wiring is aged. If you have a multimeter at home, you can measure the battery voltage, which should be around 12V under normal conditions.
I think the cigarette lighter in the Sagitar losing power is usually caused by a few common reasons. There's a dedicated fuse for the cigarette lighter, and if it blows, it's like cutting off the power supply. This most commonly happens when the charger you plug in has too high a power rating, melting the fuse. Or, the internal contacts in the socket might have oxidized or rusted, causing poor contact when you plug something in, leading to no power. Wiring issues, such as loose connections or short circuits, can also damage the entire circuit. I've experienced this myself. When checking, it's best to first locate the fuse box—in the Sagitar, it's usually near the storage compartment under the steering wheel. Open the cover and see if the cigarette lighter fuse is intact. If it still doesn't work, don't force it with the wiring to avoid electric shock or causing other vehicle malfunctions; take it to a repair shop for inspection and replacement. When using the car normally, be careful not to plug in high-power devices. The cigarette lighter isn't a universal socket, and power overload can easily cause problems.
