Cigarette Lighters in Rear Seats

Neither of my cigarette lighters located in the doors in the back seat work. Is there a fuse or something for them?

Yup. Check your fuse diagram for the fuse and location. Should be in your toolkit.

More likely, it's the cutout switch for the back power windows. A kiddie-proofing feature, it disables the rear cigarette lighters, too. It's located on the driver door window control panel.

You were right, I have had this car for 8 years, never knew that, or came across that. Thanks.

Dude..... I did not know that at all. Just saw your comment and remembered I actually hit that swith and wondered why my lighter ports in the rear stopped working. My front lighter point doesn’t work at all. Thanks!
