JJust went to charge up my phone and discovered theres no juice coming through the front lighter socket.

Is there an easy way to access the rear to check that it's not a dodgy wire? Any other ideas on what it could be?

Thanks

Errr, fuse?

That just seemed a bit too obvious. You're right I should check it.

Can anyone confirm what fuse number it is?

Incase it's not the fuse, how do I go about accessing the back of the socket to check it's not just a case of the spade connector coming off?

Check the other cabin lighter/power points as well (not the trunk one, that is separate). That way you can check if it is fuse (none will work) or the front one. Not sure if your car has one in the back (console between the front seats) and/or in the cubby hole under the armrest like mine. 2006 Range Rover Supercharged, Zambezi silver, black laquer/jet interior and all options.
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Rear fuse box, Fuse 1 20A upto 2005, after that no idea.

I have the same problem with the one in the boot
Is it on a separate fuse, if so where is the fuse?

Fuse 7 20A on the fuse board in the boot compartment , drivers side.

I feel your pain brother - mine has stopped working too!

All the others work OK - just the front one is dead. Probably a wire dropped off - but haven't sussed how to get to the back of it yet!

Only the one in the rear boot space is live with ignition off - but of course, you knew that already.

Look in your manual P257 onwards for fuse information. THE INVENTOR OF THE TERM "FULL-FAT RANGE ROVER" :

Not sure how old the OP's car is - but mine are all live all the time (or at least they were!)... One of them is never live at the moment...

You don't sound very sure - can you nip out and break yours before I break mine - just to check?

I believe you have to remove the centre console finisher (the black bit down both sides of the gear stick, to get at it. There are three connectors on the underside of the accessory socket and it appears to be secured with torx bolts from underneath.

Post 2005 models are also fused in the boot, right hand side cubby. If you've got the posh version (VSE) then they use an extra fuse for the 2nd set of sockets. Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

Many pre 2008 vehicles had the front power socket disconnected by dealers as a precaution as some fires had been attributed to the positive shorting out, you will need to dismantle the centre console to find it ( the centre connector removed and taped up) I believe there is a technical bulletin around somewhere that alludes to it
