Q: Cigarette Lighter

asked by on February 15, 2017

Hi,

One of my music inputs into the cigarette lighter broke off and I got most of the pieces out but one fell into one of the gaps inside and its not working.

I don't think its because of the piece that fell but I could be wrong. I have been told to check the fuse but I don't know how to do that.

Thank you,

Michaela
