Simple, not the most elegant, but effective :) answered Nov 5, 2012 at 11:59 Nick C 29k8 gold badges57 silver badges109 bronze badges I had the same problem with one of those cheap mp3-FM transmitters

Turn the ignition switch in the automobile to the on position before completing a test, as many cigarette lighters do not operate when the key is turned off

Test or Replace the lighter socket Check the cigarette lighter socket with a multimeter to verify whether electricity is flowing

All plugs I know have some little metal nub in the center that practically never gets enough contact with the socket's center base, and the sides of the plug are never effective at keeping the plug pressed in well enough

This must be a common problem

In that case, plugging in electrical appliances may blow the fuse and cause the inverter to fail
