Hi i have just had the saxo i tryed to put my phone in the lighter and it doesnt work could anyone tell me what it could be it seems there is no power to it.
could it just be a fuse.?

Hi mate, I haven't had this prob before but its prob worth looking at the fuses! Your owners hand manual should show you which fuse is for what. Check that first and go and have a look!!
Good luck!!

Thanks mate but the thing is the car has come with nothing so does it show you what fuses are on the back of the fuse box and are the fuses inside or under the bonnet. lol

It said on the link i was sent that it is this one but it said horn on there and that works so does that rule it out being the fuse ?

yes, thats correct.

my horn went before, but my lighter worked. (same theory as yours, just opposite way round)

could be the actual lighter, / a problem with wiring

Just take out the fuse mate and you will see that the little metal bit inside has probably snapped, just need a new one then, Can get them for pennies

Theyre on the same fuse though i think?

but yeah, worth a check for the sake of no cost to look at it.
