FRASML430

My 99 ML430 cigarette lighter does not work. I can plug in my cell phone power adapter and receive power but i can't use it for the lighter. The lighter seems like it's never been used. Any suggestions

sosh

Lighter itself is burnt out or bad, replace it.

I don't remember exactly what it was. We had problems with this before. It was recommended to NOT use the Cigarette Lighter for other accessories.

There might be something in the way it's designed....I haven't looked lately!

There's often an adapter for cellular phone power adapters to make them fit better inside the European lighters. Sometimes this adapter gets left behind in the lighter socket... if it's in there, then your lighter won't work anymore. Take a look inside for a plastic piece stuck in there.
