Cigarette lighter/power source not workin
My cigarette lighter and power source will not work on my '99. I went straight to the fuse box but since it doesn't have any printings on it, I can't ID which one is which. Anyone have any suggestions? Please advise.

If you mean the AUX wiring located in the passenger footwell, and your cigar/cigarette lighter next to your ashtray ....
If you need to look at an on-line copy of your owner's manual ... go too .....

Fuse locations are on page 370 of 426 (using Adobe page count) or 5-94 (using GM page numbers) and the Cigarette lighter fuse is in the group on the far lower right, the Cigarette lighter fuse is the one at the bottom left of the block. On my 2001 it is a 20 AMP fuse, you'll have to pull yours to check the correct Amp rating.

babalu95 >> if you wind up needing receptacles, I have them for both locations. Just pm me but sounds like simply a fuse thing to me.

I have a '99 C5 hardtop and the console power receptacle fuse is #1 and the fuse for the cigarette lighter in the ashtray is #7. If you remove the cover to the fuse block located in the passenger footwell, you'l find a handy fuse ID diagram pasted to the inside of the cover.

Then not to leave any stones unturned
Pull out the ashtray and stick your fingers around behind the lighter socket and see if it came loose from the socket or the connector is not snapped on to socket assy. It's a C5 anything's possible
