Let me shed some light. I had the same problem,everything still worked but the lighter. I finally learned that sometimes after use the lighter builds up a film of corrosion in the coils. I gently scraped it then spit,yes spit,on the coils,repleced the lighter pushed it in and off she went. The acidic fluid in your spit causes a better connection in electrical wired,coils,etc. I learned the in the Military from the Comm. guys. Try it.

WOOOO HOOOO! Its fixed! I pulled the fuse cover off again and pulled every fuse and relay. None of them were blown, but all of my fuses had some light powdery corrosion on them. The relays did not. So I took some electrical parts cleaner and douched the entire fuse block, the lighter, and the lighter socket. After it dried, I shot some di-electric grease into all of the fuse and relay ports (not the lighter or its socket), then installed all new fuses + the original relays....now, she works like a champ. To finish it off, I put a light bead of silicon across the top edge of the fuse cover to help keep moisture from trickling down into it. Hopefully this helped someone else. The total investment was $13.
