Glove box light and cigarette lighter back light.

Any electrical issues

Hi folks. Am finally here sussing out the new forum.
Can anyone help? Some time in the past I butched my cigarette lighter power feed to add neons. I didn't like them and so removed them!

Now my glovebox light and cigarette lighter back light don't work. The bulbs are fine. I find the glovebox one really handy so any ideas what it could be? I checked the related fuse in the fusebox, that was fine too.

HELP.

Thanks.
Phil

Sounds like your feed has a break in it. Carry out a check to see if there is a power feed to it.

Guessing it is a power feed issue. Where to check for the break?
Everything seems to run from each other!!

You should be able to pull out the ashtray and test the 2 connectors on the back of the fag lighter, using a multimeter (or similar).

Thing is the fag lighter works fine. I though the lights for the lighter and the glove box used at least part of the same feed? :?
