I hope someone can help with this...I pluged a small air compressor in the lighter plug, only to find the plug was loose...the compressor worked for a while and when I turned it off and back on the lighter and radio both died. I have checked all wiring behind the unit, all the fuses, both in the car and under the bonnet, and the built in fuse in the radio, but cannot get either of them to work. Any ideas??? Brett.

======================= Does the dome light or trunk light work?
If they're out, it would be the fuse - under the "bonnet" identified in the Owner manual.
If they're working, check the contacts in the lighter receptacle for corrosion or imperfect contact.
You might want to double check the 15 A fuse that is under the dash on the driver's side. It supplies both the lighter and the radio.
Thanks guys, I checked the lighter fuse and found it was blown, starnge that the radio works off the same fuse. Anyway the radio is working, but the lighter is still not, so I will buy another lighter unit and see how that goes.
