cigar lighter got busted, radio won't work!

[holdencaulfield]

mga boss, ginamit ko lang kahapon yung cigarette lighter socket ko to charge my phone. nung hinugot ko yung charger (while the radio is on) nakalas yung tip nito na naiwan sa loob ng socket. napansin ko namatay yung radio, i tried to turn it on and on again but to no avail. nung tinanggal ko yung metal tip ng charger sa loob ng socket and plugged another charger, ayaw na ring gumana nung lighter. sa tingin ko, nag-short ata?

-mga boss, connected ba ang lighter socket at radio? kasi parehas silang ayaw ng gumana.
-hinahanap ko yung fuse sa fuse/relay box ( for the two) na baka puwede kong palitan pero di ko makita.
-kaya po ba ma-diy nito?

sana po matulungan nyo ako. TIA sa inyo!

We can guess the source of the problem all day long but it will not get it fixed.

Best to bring your car to a shop that does electrical work like car audio shops or similar. They will quickly determine where the problem is and how to fix it.

Chances are the wires leading to your cigarette lighter has melted and affected the HU's wires as well.

You can check the fuses for both the lighter plug and HU if they are both busted. If busted, replace with the fuse of correct rating.

Holden,

usually radio and cigar lighter are connected in series kaya base sa sinabi mo na nung hindi gumana yung lighter e ayaw na rin gumana radio.

happened to me before. i DIYed it. i just checked the continuity of wires using a tester and the seating of the fuse in the holder. yun nga lang matrabaho sa dinami dami ng wires tsaka under the dash pa yung ulo mo baka antukin ka habang nagchchek

thanks so much for your suggestions! nahanap ko na yung problem. nakita ko na yung putol na fuse at tumataginting na 10 pisong halaga lang! whew!!! if only all things can be diy-ed. nadala na kasi ako nung nagpatulong ako sa kapitbahay ko na mekaniko para lang i-adjust yung maingay ko na fanbelt, wala kasi akong gamit at tubo. singilin ba naman ako ng 280php para sa labor daw, kala ko nagpapatawa kasi wala pa atang 1 minute nung inadjust nya at since kapit bahay ko naman siya. yun pala seryoso.

thanks again!
