CIGAR LIGHTERS |
|
|
I have a '95 740il. Recently the Cigar lighters just quit working. I
checked the fuses they all looked good. Neither the manual or the fuse box
cover tells you which fuse is used for the lighters. I replaced them all
anyways. No luck. Anyway had this problem?? Have any ideas??? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. I have to go to the tailor to pick up my
custom pants with pockets down to the ankle so I can carry enough money to
cover the repairs.

Do they work if you push & hold them in?
On my 92 735, if you push them in, the pop out right away; but if i Push & hold
they warm up quicky.

Haven't seen a cigarette lighter for years. Look at the diameter of the
element...

Presumably you saw the intended humour....but I shall have a look. (Never
use the damn thing for anything, not even charging my computer. I took the
delete ashtray option.)

I'm amazed nobody has improved on the design, IIRC every lighter I've
ever seen relies on a bimetallic strip to release them to make them
pop out, and as you mention, they all too often fail/bend and won't
lock down.
Having said that, my '96 E36 used to do that, previous owner a
non-smoker, but after the first couple of weeks of manual press and
hold it's now started staying down then popping, although it could do
with another couple of seconds.

Mine works intermittently. It's really hard to pull out too. I suspect it is
more than the element, but time will tell.
My dealer has ordered one, but he says they are on backorder. He also
mentioned that there are many people waiting for one.
I'm thinking of getting two sticks and rubbing them together.
