I've got a small problem on my W123.
The cigar lighter doesn't work. I use this socket for my tyre inflator so would like to fix it.
I've removed the ashtray and tested the 2 terminals with a multimeter - no power (and yes the key was turned).
I've checked the fuse (#4 fuse) and it's fine.
Checked resistance across the 2 terminals that are holding the fuse in place and its 1 ohm so its definately not a bad connection there.
So I've looked at the list and No. 4 fuse also runs the glove-box light. Guess what? It's not working. Tested with the multimeter - no power at the connections either.
What should I check next? Any more ideas?
Thank you
