Hey all, new here & apologies if this has been covered before, but I tried searching the forums and couldn't seem to find any topics on as much:

So the cigarette charger/lighter port (I don't smoke, so really only use this part to charge things) on my 2004 Honda Civic sedan suddenly stopped working tonight out of nowhere. If anything, I may have pushed in my phone charger a little hard, and it didn't work afterwards. I tried the same charger in a different car afterwards, and it lit up briefly, then didn't work at all. I actually bought a brand new charger--hoping to troubleshoot-- and it worked in the other car; neither seem to work in mine.

So possibly something became shorted, or a wire became loose. I'm no mechanic, so I was hoping to take the vehicle in to my regular guy tomorrow ASAP to try to get this resolved/fixed (I'm a rideshare for Lyft/Uber who goes out driving for hours on end, so our work depends on keeping our phones-- and the apps on them-- charged and usable).

Just curious if any of you have had this problem, what it took to get it fixed, and what it cost.

Thanks!!

You probably just blew the fuse. Look in the panel located on the drivers side under the steering column. I thing its labeled AUX but it might be called something different. Been a while since I looked in the fuse panel.

also make sure the port isnt full of ash otherwise you wont get a good connection

Before the dished out the center terminal in 06 a certain chargers center pin can short when inserted...... Yes, check the fuse. And also make nothing stayed inside the socket from the charger.
