Hi all,

I have had a look on past posts but still struggling. My cig lighter stopped working, replaced blown fuse and tested again but not working and new fuse blown again.

Hmmm Any ideas please.
 
Well, clearly there is a short circuit somewhere. First place I would look is cigarette lighter socket, you can take it out, disconnect, and put another fuse and have a look. Maybe you will something on visual check anyway.
 
You must have short some where also the cigarette lighter fuse is shared with a few other items as well

I would have a really careful look inside the lighter. You may have a broken bit of metal from an old charging device that is shorting it out.. happened to me. Use a magnet to fish it out
 
Thanks all, I have been using the lighter and a phone charger and all was good until a few days ago. Will have a go with the magnet and take from there.
 
Result!
