Cigarette lighter problems in 01 Bonneville

Post by Rep K »

Every time I put in a new fuse for my cigarette lighter, it blows up, so there has to be something else that's wrong. The cigarette lighter its self will get warm but the fuse blows every time. I want to start by replacing my cigarette lighter socket for my 01 Bonneville but I can't find one ANYWHERE. Can you guys help me find one?

Oh, and I also broke the black circle trim that goes around the cigarette lighter, so how can I get a new one of those?

Dealer has them.
Bad socket likely source to your blown fuses.

Do you know where I can find the black circle trim that goes around the cigarette lighter? I accidentally broke one of the two little black clips on the trim that helps hold the cigarette lighter in place and it's kind of loose.

The dealer would likely have access to both. Other sources are junk yards, or send a private message to Andrew (Harofreak00) and see if he has what you are looking for.
