The 12V socket in the "ashtray" (we have the non-smoker car pack) is not working. I've checked the fuse (#47 according to the little helpful white sheet). I've also tried another fuse, and cleaning out the socket with a dry cloth.

But nothing seems to be working... :huh: Just wondering if there is anything thing else to try before I try removing the trim to have a look...(um, how does one do that? I'm assuming the gear gaitor to start with? Got the 5speed auto with leather boot)

Help please?

remove the trim and see if the connector has fallen off. be gental with taking the trim off it can be a little tricky ... but doable if you do it logically.

e46fanatics.com ... search forums on howtos to remove your trim.

I pulled the trim apart. Was very straight forward, no dramas (compared to the my E30 anyway :D ) . The connections were all connected, unplugged them to give them a quick wipe with a dry cloth. Put everything back together.

....And mysteriously it starts working!

Any idea what it might have been? I'm baffled!

P.S. Thanks for the suggestion hybrid :)
