My cigarette lighter isn't working, I'm thinking it's a blown fuse. I'm trying to run a radar detector that I just bought. It works on my mom's car so I know it's not a bad detector. The cigarette lighter itself does not work either in my car (never had a reason to use it). Does anyone know what fuse controls the cigrarette lighter? This is for a '90 Stang.

check your horn - the same fuse - #16 - powers the cig lighter. it's the top left hand blue 15 amp fuse.

Wow man thanks for the quick reply. I am about to take my dog out for a walk but I will check that as soon as I get back. Thanks again.

The horn isn't working now either so it must be the fuse. I am going to try and find a store that's still open to see if I can get a pack of 15A fuses.

FYI. Fuse 16 should be a yellow 20A fuse according to my docs. You should be able to verify with the diagram on the inside of your fusebox cover.

Yeah it was a 20A, that's what I had in there before too. No big deal though thanks for your help everything is working again!
