Dumb Cigarette Lighter Question
Haven't had this car all that long and I don't smoke, but I do like everything working the way it should.
Should the lighter light up like the knobs next to it? Doubt it but I thought I'd ask. Second question, do you push the lighter in, click it into place, and then the lighter pops out when it gets hot? Mine will depress in, but it doesn't lock into place till it gets hot like any other lighter I've ever used. If you press it in, it will just pop right back out. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Take a look at a generic replacement lighter at a parts store. There are flaps that are spread and hook up with the receptacle. You should be able to DIY the lighter. It should work if you have power and a good element.

So what's wrong with mine then where it doesn't click into place and get hot? Is the inner sleeve shot out? Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

The element may be burnt out or corroded, put a volt meter to it and check the voltage or resistance on the lighter itself, that could be faulty. 31+ years probably worn out. 80's we use to smoke allot

I have a lighter for sale in the classifieds, should you want another one. It's never lit a cigarette, so it's probably not worn out...

I'd take $30, plus $7 to ship it in a USPS small flat rate box.

I have no idea how a lighter stays pushed in, so I can't tell you how to test one. Photos of what I have:
