Hi Accord experts,

I think my 2010 Accord cigarette is short-fused and need some help.
This past weekend we had power outage form the Irene hurricane. I have a car AC DC converter that I plugged into my 2010 Accord front cigarette lighter. When I turned on the AC DC converter I saw a flash of the green light on the converter and then heard a "poof" sound, and the light went off. Since then the cigarette lighter does not work any more. I think I short-fused the lighter...

Do you think that's what happened? And could you please help me with some advice on how to fix / replace it?

Thank you so much.

Regards.

 

Either you took out a cigarette lighter fuse or melted the wire. Try replacing the fuse and see what happen.

 

Fuse....I did almost the same thing on the 07 Pilot, I'm just glad I had a new inverter "in the wings" this weekend. Again, using the Pilot as a ref, yours could be different, under hood, by the brake master cyl, small fuse box...check there.

Hope you and family are ok.

 

Thanks guys. I will let you know how it turns out. I really appreciated your advice.
Fortunately we were not too much affected by Irene, only 16hrs power outage.

 

Did you ever figure out how to fix your cigarette lighter? Did you find where the fuse box is? I have a 2006 Honda Accord and i believe I blew the fuse.

 

klopez81-If you don't have the owners manual, you can sign up to Honda's "Owners Link" and from there you can download the owners manual. This should give you the fuse box locations and which one has the fuse for the outlet. Again mine was in the Pilot, rear seat outlet. That fuse was where I said it was.

 

For the 2010 Accord 4 door the fuse is number 23 and its located under the dashboard by the driver side. Its was difficult to find because its not called cigarette lighter but front accessory power

 

I pulled the fuse and it looked good but I put the meter on it just to confirm; good. Still no power at either outlet. Any suggestions? Thank you.
