Auto Cigarette lighter outlet not working

I was about to charge my mobile phone this morning in the car and found that the 12v outlet is not working. Fuse lang kaya to? Any DIY tips para di ko na dalhin sa electrician?

Most likely fuse. No need to get an electrician. Locate the fuse on your fuse box. The fuse box usually has a cover that indicates which fuse is which. Locate the appropriate fuse socket, take note of the type of fuse and the ampereage. Get a fuse with the same Amp rating. Don't get a fuse with a higher or lower amp rating. Depending on the model of your vehicle, you'r ride might have a fuse clip: it's a plastic instrument that you would use to remove and re-insert the fuse. If not, you should use insulated long nose pliers.

Removing and inserting the fuse would just be a two-minute job. Locating the proper fuse, less than 5 minutes.

silipin mo fuse box...misan nasa ilalim ng manibela ang mga ito minsan nasa kaliwa minsan nasa kanang bahagi...

kapag napalitan mo na ang fuse

1)obserbahan mo muna yung 12v outlet at baka may mas malaking problema kaya bumigay ang fuse...in case di ulit bumigay ang fuse...maghanda ka na rin pansamantala ng fire extinguisher para makasiguro

or

2)dalhin mo na lang sa electrical shop para talagang safe at matunton nila sakaling may mas malaking electrical problem...
