Broken cigarette lighter... advice needed..
The cigarette lighters/accessory outlets on my C5 don't work.
Found out the hard way on a 400 mile trip the other week. Nothing like losing your GPS in the middle of nowhere.
I swapped out both fuses and that didn't help. Any ideas on where to go from here?
I've tried two seperate GPS's and the cigarette lighter - none of them work.
Thanks

Already tried changing both fuses with no luck.
I haven't tried the gps on the console area. But I have tried the cigarette letter on the console area one and it didn't work there either.
How can I check to see if its connected on back? Does it unscrew or something simple?

just sorta snaps on is all
if you pull the ash tray section out of the bezel you should maybe be able to reach over with a finger and see if you can feel a connection.
