Okay firstly sorry guys if you got the wrong impression.

It was just my way of saying hello.
As ‘skylarking’ pointed out, this forum is very informative and helpful and I honestly believe the wealth of knowledge amongst most of the members is vast, and I’m sure collectively these members will help you out with most of your car problems. I have followed many threads regarding members car issues and have been intrigued by their tenacity and endeavours to help solve those issues.
I have been a member for four years now and have been in awe of some of the knowledge these members have passed on to fellow members, but most importantly I have thoroughly enjoyed some of the banter, humour and jokes that the guys have given me, and that is what makes this forum.
Of course there is the odd disagreement, but hey that’s life!
Oh and I do hope you get your cigarette lighters to work for what ever reason you need them for. And as for me.....well I’m just going out the back to have a cigarette.

How did you check the fuse? Did you look at it or test it with a meter?

If the fuse has DC continuity and you have 12V at the fuse, then you need to trace the 12V feed along the wire from the fuse to where it stops.

Any questions, get back to us.

Quite unfortunate actually. I came here for help and to help others with this question. First time I've used this forums. Honestly not too good impressions

Trust me, most people aren't like this on the forum and usually are pretty helpful...

Dont look for fuses labelled cigarette/cigar lighters, Holden haven't fitted them for awhile(not PC)...
Look for fuses marked 'power outlets'.
Check the under bonnet fuse panel(VE/VF).
Cabin fuse panel(VE L/H kick panel)(VF R/H end dash panel)
Boot fuse panel(VE/VF sedans/wagons)
Utes boot fuse panel are behind passenger seat, next to battery.

Checked all fuses. All look like they are working. They all have a solid wire inside the fuse itself. There's 2 in the rear fuse panel it could be. But also accessories doesnt work on my dealer connector plug.

Also, one can’t ignore that most cig lighter sockets have a fusible link on the back of the socket. It is mentioned in my post within the another thread:

Cigarette plugs

Hey guys looking for some info on the cigarette plugs, I have a V VF Calais and I've replaced all the fuses yet my cigarette plugs still aren't working there's a USB plugs right next to the one in the center console but it drains my phone battery I can't seem to find anything on the plugs

The ebay link in the post above also shows a fusible link (for a Toyota figgy lighter) but I’ll add it as a pic here as it’s more visual…

The fusible link is that short bit of wire (above) that blows if too much current is drawn.

[edited. Just wanted to clarify that most ciggy lighters had a fusible link when I was more active playing with my cars years ago. And just for heads up, I haven’t pulled a VF commodore ciggy lighter out, so someone has to step up and show us the back of a Holden VF one ]

[edited to add that rear accessory socket, Holden part 92260576, install pdf doesn’t show a clear enough pic of the socket rear but they add a 20A fuse to the fuse panel… click here for install pdf. ]

How does one take the cigarette lighter socket out of a vf commodore. Dash and the centre console. Have been struggling to do so.
