Exclamation cigarette Lighter's Not working

I have a problem with my cigarette lighters that are unable to work. The fuses is not the problem because i have changed them several times. I dont know whats wrong with them. Can someone please help me figure this out. The dealership wont do it unless i pay them 300 bucks for a diagnostic. I think thats too much for checking on just that problem. Please help

You need to provide more information. Are you trying to use it to power something, or just use the lighter? If you have changed fuses several times, were they blown or were you just changing them to change them? Are all three outlets not working?

If trying to use the lighter and it isn't heating up it is probably the element which can be bought at most any auto parts store. Usually the handle part screws off and you just replace the element. If using it for power make sure the power cord for whatever you are trying to use doesn't have a blown fuse. These can be located in the plug in part.

Best of luck!
