Gitanes Lighter

[Beige Belgian]

Hi, the Gitanes (cigarette) lighter in my R4 does not work. Is this a common problem? All the fuses seem good. What else could cause this not too work?

The easiest fix is to buy a box of matches :-)

No thats not what I was wanting to use it for! Both mobile and I-pod can be charged up using this, thats why I was keen to get it working.

I'm sending my R4s back for a refund - I didn't know they were supposed to have cigarette lighters. :wink:

It is usually the socket part that shorts out causing the fuse to blow. The sockets are cheap to buy and easy to wire in direct from the fuse box so rather than repair what you have I would replace it
