electrical problem please help
my dome light, cigar lighter, and radio are not working. i have the constant hot wire on cd player, cigar lighter, and dome light all on the same fuse. the right fuse is in, 15 amp aga. the cigar lighter and the dome light and radio are getting voltage at the wires but when i try to turn on the light, heat the cigar lighter, or turn on the radio they do not work. could i need a higher fuse in the fuse box or what? everything worked last night. thanks for any help

Electrical problems are the best.........lol. Seem to come and go when they eant to. First thing I would ask is what did you do last night (if anything) that might have triped these up? I usually aways find my self at fault when it comes to electrical. Major thing i learned that just as important as power is the ground. If its not grounded I dont care how much juice i give it, it just will not work. i dont think your dome and lighter are connected but check the grounds as wellas you checked your power.......
