What to Do When the LAVIDA Cigarette Lighter Has No Power?
3 Answers
If the electronic cigarette lighter has no power, replace it with a fuse of the same specification. Here is some related information about cigarette lighters: 1. Functions of the cigarette lighter: Universal car charger, car inverter, car heating cup, car vacuum cleaner, car coffee maker, car air pump, cigarette lighter decorative accessories. 2. How the cigarette lighter works: In addition to lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can also be equipped with a car inverter, which converts the 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power in the car into 220V/50Hz AC power for use with ordinary electrical appliances. For example, it can charge mobile electronic devices. It is best to use a split-type car inverter, with the power of the electrical appliance limited to below 150W, and the output current not exceeding the battery current. The cigarette lighter socket is an electronic device similar to a multi-hole power socket for household use, which connects to the car power supply through a plug and then extends multiple cigarette lighter ports.
I've encountered the cigarette lighter not working a few times in my Lavida, and it's mostly due to a blown fuse. Being a hands-on person, I usually check the fuse box, which in the Lavida is typically located under the steering wheel or on the left side of the dashboard. Using a small pair of pliers, I gently pull out the fuse. If I see a broken filament or black marks, I simply replace it with a new one of the correct rating. It saves both money and time, but remember to check that the device you're using doesn't exceed the power limit—large chargers, for example, can easily blow the fuse. I usually test the cigarette lighter socket with a simple test pen to confirm it's working before use. If replacing the fuse doesn't fix the issue, it might be due to aging wiring or a faulty socket, and then it's time to visit a repair shop. Overall, DIY repairs can teach you a bit about your car, but avoid tampering with other circuits to prevent accidents. Once fixed, driving out becomes much more convenient.
Driving the Lavida on the road, don't underestimate a sudden loss of power in the cigarette lighter—safety first. With my extensive experience, common causes include a blown fuse, rusted contacts, or circuit issues. Especially at night when using electrical devices, immediately turn on the hazard lights and pull over safely without tampering. It's advisable to drive to a 4S shop or repair center where they have the tools to quickly diagnose and replace components. For prevention, have technicians check the electrical system during regular maintenance and avoid using high-power adapters to prevent overload. Vehicle electrical systems are complex, so professional handling ensures peace of mind and safety. If repairs don't resolve the issue, it might be a generator or battery fault that needs prompt attention. While a cigarette lighter issue isn't major, addressing it quickly ensures a worry-free drive.
