Hey guys, bought a new EG5 not too long ago, and never had to use the cigarette lighter until yesterday. Plugged my GPS charger into it and the light wouldn't turn on. Tried another charger, didn't work either. Put in the cigarette lighter knob thing, and didn't work either.

My guess is that the whole ciggy lighter unit hole is broken. Kinda sucks when there's nowhere to power your devices.

I read somewhere it has something to do with fuses. My radio works, cos I think they are both somehow related on the same fuse.

How do i fix it, what parts do i need, how much does it roughly costs, and where can i get the parts from?

Thanks in advance.

lol, probably the socket where your lighter goes into is fualty, or the plunger itself, lol.
