There has been no physical trauma, they just stopped working one day. The little light in the ashtray is working, but there is no juice from the lighters themselves. Help!

Get a test light and check the power at the fuse. As long as you are getting power keep moving closer to the lighter. Sometimes the wire breaks inside and you can't see the break. So keep trying the test light until you lose power. The problem will be between your first dead spot and the last "power' spot. Good luck

Like dodge man said reach in behind and make sure the wires are plugged in.Or your lighter element itself is shot. Just unscrew it from the handle or take the whole thing into a chevy dealer and get a new one.I had a car once that I used the cig lighter to plug in a radar detector and then a phone and the lighter part quit working but my accessaries still did. Weird ,huh?

it could be any where from the power to the fuse to the lighter being bad or the ground you need a tester and check until
you find a break in the circuit

Make sure that the right size fuse is in it place, its passable that some one put the wrong size fuse in it It should be a 20 amp fuse in it

It sounds like the lighter itself is clogged up with ash.the coil gets clogged up and you need to tap it on something sturdy until the debris comes loose,then it should work

i own a repair shop,and the wires on the back of the switch just may have come loose on it,,look in behind it,and see if they are on or off,,there's only one way they,ll go back on if there off,but this is the only other solution to this good luck hope this help,s.,happy new years.
