Cadillac Escalade ESV Forum : “2004 Cadillac Escalade - fuse for cigarette lighter”

Probably the fusible link in-line behind the cigarette lighter itself is blown.  This will require removing the cig. lighter socket.

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CONSOLE APART FROM THE REAR, I STILL CAN'T GET THE LIGHTER OUT OF THE HOLE. THE WIRING WORKS AT THE PLUG. GOOD LUCK.

I have a 2005 Esv Plantinum.....
The 3 cigarette lighter adapters that are in the center console all no longer work.  The one by the cupholder, the one inside the center console, and the one above the controls for the second row a/c.  BUT....The one in the back works perfectly by the back door in the cargo area.  The 20amp fuse according to the owners manual on the side of the dash is fine.  I pull it and the cargo area adapter stops working, throw it back in and it works fine.  I checked the underhood box which I think suggests the BEC2 fuse or something to that effect, which is a 50 amp fuse seems fine, as the manual says it controls the left side door and other stuff, and all of those controls work.  Any ideas as to what's wrong?  Are there hidden fuses somewhere I am not aware of?  Will I end up having to take the console apart?  How do I take that apart in a way to not destroy it without having to take back to Caddy dealer to pay $500 for a $2 part?  Thanks!
