**black8thgen** · 24-05-2009 09:21 AM

need your help guys =[ - i thuoght i blew the fuse on my ciggie plug but i checked all the fuses and their sweet, and checked for any lights or anything that wouldn't work, and yeah everything is fine so can't be a fuse. But now i don't know whats wrong with my ciggie lighter plug =[..

the way it broke was my stupid friend tried to test some led strips by putting an exposed neg wire to the pos terminal inside the ciggie lighter and vice versa.. then sparks flew and no more ciggie lighter =[.... anyone know how i can fix this? Should i just go to the dealer? but its such a hassle =[..

thanks.

shit =.=.. how much is it gonna cost you guys reckon? and im guessing it wont be under warranty?

**ekdez** · 24-05-2009 03:25 PM

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

**black8thgen** · 24-05-2009 03:33 PM

does that mean like.. changing headlights or something will void electrical basically?... **** =.=....... or can't i just tell the dealer that i was just using an ipod charger or something and it didnt work...?

btw would my LED strips in the footwells count as like voiding warranty?

**ryanc** · 24-05-2009 03:55 PM

dont touch the car if u dont want to void warranty. simple.

**JOhnnyFD** · 24-05-2009 04:00 PM

there goes my warranty.. but i when i call in to see if i could still service my car wif em, they go 'yeh, bring it in'... they just want yo money

**curtis265** · 24-05-2009 04:24 PM

Yah you won't be able to claim warranty now that you've given them something plausible to blame...

Don't tell em ur ipod charger did it... they're nt that stupid and it's probably very insulting for them to hear that kinda thing.

Of course they'll service your car - they'll know it best! (but suck your wallet dry)

ok im not very experienced with this warranty and servicing stuff as my dad handles everything - but how much more does it cost to service once you've voided warranty? and will like.. my cig lighter thing void ALL warranty over the car? so basically anything they service isnt under warranty or somethiing..? so like if my power windows get stuck... i have to pay for it to be repaired?....
