JiB 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2008 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... 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JiB 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 I pulled the trim apart. Was very straight forward, no dramas (compared to the my E30 anyway ) . 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
