Main Cigarette lighter
I know this is small and probably petty to some, but I am working through everything top to bottom on my newly purchased 2002 Vette. The main cigarette lighter will not work. I did my research and located the fuse under the floor panel on the passenger side. That 20amp fuse is fine. I pulled it to check it and put it back in and the lighter still won't work. The lighter in the console works just fine but I would like to use the main lighter plug for my Valentine 1. Can anyone suggest where I should check next?
Thanks,
G

I'd check that the wire that plugs on to the back of the receptacle is still plugged in. IF it is, I'd measure the voltage on that wire. If it's not there, I'd go back to the fuse box and look for another fuse.
Check fuse 1 and fuse 7. One says cigarette lighter, the other says console cigarette lighter. Don't know which is which.

Vette Essentials has some good instructions that cover console removal. Here is a link to one of those: http://www.vetteessentials.com/instr...t_install.html
You'll get good at removing the console after you've done it a couple of dozen times. Ask me how I know.
