cigarette lighter/clock/stereo not working

[clio_andy]

My clio's cigarette lighter, clock and stereo have all decided to stop working at the same time but the engine starts fine and no other problems. Could this be a fuse?

any help appreciated

Just bought an 2004 172 and had the same issue, these stopped working when I drove away from the seller...Any ideas

Either of you checked the fuses?

defo a fuse gents

It got dark before I could look, I only drove it home today. I figured it could be a fuse as my Sat Nav wouldn't charge and as I fiddled with it the Radio turned off.

Thought is might be a relay of some sort, as I have the 'Climate Control buzzing' which sounds like a broken relay??

A fuse and cleaning of the CC motor should solve this! That god for the Cliosport forum - The solution to all problems

its a french car. by nature. s**t like this happens.

but yeah fuse!

Fuse, would be well and truly shocked if it was anything else.

Minds not the fuse!!!, would the head unit have a fuse on the back?

If it's not the fuse and all 3 items aren't working its unlikely to be a stereo fuse. Have you checked for a voltage at the fuse?

 

[philclio172]

Not as yet, I will have a proper look tomorrow with a volt meter, reading some other posts I think it is worth checking all the fuses.

hi guys,im having same problem but stereo works fine for half hour or so then beeps and goes to turn itself off!

 

[simon_182]

if the stereo beeps and goes off after 30 mins it is running off the battery alone and not receiving power from the altenator when the engine is turned on!

Im having this exact problem at the moment, is it an easy/inexpensive thing to fix?

 

[simon_182]

i dont know what causes it afraid. im an aircraft electrical technician by trade and at the minute im trying to get a hold of the car wiring diagrams. if i do i shall try to come up with some solutions however without the fault and the car so i can get hands on i may be a bit limited as to how much help i can give!

Deffo a fuse.
I had this problem on my car ( lighter and clock wouldnt work and radio turned off after 20 mins ) and when I checked the fuse, it was ok. I then went through every single fuse and a totally irrelevant fuse had blown. Once I changed it, everything was back to normal.

Hope this helps.

Have people with this fault got it sorted?

Yep, pluged in the connector block on the back of my radio worked its way loose, how I don't know as its a tight fit.

Always the simple things..........
