I plugged in a cigarette lighter powered air compressor, and it stopped almost as quick as it started. Now the cigarette lighter doesn't work, I assume it's a blown fuse.

But looking at the fuses located under the bonnet, near the battery all were okay, so I assume there must be a fuse for the cig. lighter inside the dash somewhere?

Any suggestions?

check to the right of your peddles

this pic is of the G35 (left hand drive) so filp it around and you have ours. (i think)

Thanks V35 Paul, it was where you said. After you pull the flap off, the fuse for the cigarette lighter is just to the left of the impliment provided to pull the fuses out, the 15 amp one.

Had to get some help from my a Japanese teacher at school to save me pulling them all out to check which one had blown.

All working now.

Sorry to bring this thread up again but I am having trouble finding the lighter fuse on my car - a 2001 250GT sedan.

I can't seem to find the fuses as shown in the above diagram and while I found some fuses in the battery cavity, none seem to be for the lighter.

Can anyone advise where I should be looking for the cigarette lighter fuse on the 250GT sedan?

Hmm still don't seem to be able to find it.. Unless I should be pulling apart under the dash.. Found the computer cable and the home it lives but can't find fuses?

*Looking at Chris Rogers* Chris you are around these everyday.. Are you able to help??

Most 12v sockets have a type of fuse attached directly to it, so remove the socket and have a look at the bottom of it, you should see it, basically looks like a thin metal wire that will have a break in it. Its so simple to fix, had a mate that tried to use a compressor and fried his sockets, the workshop quoted him $800 as they apparently had to take the whole dash out blah blah etc. I called BULLSHIT on it, told my mate what to do, so he ended up replacing the sockets himself for a few dollars.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
