Fuse blown in car. Hard wired components not working.

    In the middle of a long trip, my OH and I noticed that the USB charger for my phone which was plugged into the cigarette lighter, had stopped working. We tested the socket by putting the lighter in and it didn't work. He also has Bluetooth and a dash cam hardwired into the car and they have stopped working.
    The radio still works. The lights work and there is no problem with the ignition.

    Are we looking at a hefty bill to replace the fuse?

    If you let us know what car it is we should be able to help you locate and replace the fuse. It sounds like you have to many units taking of the supply to the original cig lighter

    What type of car is it ? Location for lighter fuse will be show in your owners handbook & there's usually spare fuses in the fuse box so it wont cost anything to replace yourself - it's very easy. Good luck :)

    It's a 1.4L. Peugeot 207 HDI.

    Dash cam and Bluetooth are hardwired, so they're not connected to the cigarette lighter.

    A new fuse will cost you 30 cent to fit yourself. The most difficult thing is locating it. Your car service manual will have the location of the cigarette lighter fuse. Use a needle nose pliers to extract it and you'll see if it's blown or not.

    most likely they are hard wiried to the supply for the cig lighter which is why they have all failed at the one time
