ciggarette plug problem on civic fd2. help please!!

lol =.=....... well thx for help everyone else.

Lighter > In car ciggie lighter.

In all seriousness, I did the same thing and mine doesnt work ONLY WITH THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER. If i connect up any other device via the port it works fine. Though I have a feeling my gps charger may have bent one of the prongs so there isnt complete contact with the lighter so all i guess I need to do is replace it :(

Hope you fix yours :)

ohhh.. lol.. science fail =D.

haha yeahh thanks mate! i just hope its not gna put a hole through my already thin wallet =.=

Servicing (after a while) isn't included in warranty - you gotta pay that anyway. 3 yr Warranty is them saying 'your car will be fine for the next 3 years' (i dunno what we've got). If there's something wrong, they'll fix it free of charge, becase they warrant that the car will be good for 3 years. If you go in there and start tapping wires, they'll blame YOUR work on the car, and say that it was your fault, so they arne't requried to fix the car for you.

Oh and servicing shouldn't cost anything more - they're performing maintainence, not reparing parts - you pay for servicing anyway.

If the power windows jam, that's nto an electrical fault. If the motor blows it is... but i think it'll be on a different circuit so that's still going to be fixed under warranty.

It won't void the warranty, they'll jsut deny your warranty claim... there's a fine difference...

Now, say one day your suspension stuffs up... back rear shock makes funny noise and then your car's 2" lower at the back... They can't deny that claim because of your little LED lights on the electrical system - they're totally unrelated.

Hope that helps.

ah, yeah that helped a lot. thanks a lot mate!

Have you checked all fuses, under dash and engine bay, if they are all fine the plug itself may have a fusable link built in, so best to go se a dealer, as for the guys saying

you messed with the car therefore voids warranty straight away.. goes for n e thing.
all your electrical wont be covered n e more.

I love hearing bullshit. If you buy a brand new car and you change the exhaust system and the engine blows up for some reason the car is still under warranty if it is not a result of the exhaust, u get wat i mean. anyways go see ur dealer bout the plug

ah yeah alright thanks for the help mate =]
