Radio lights and Cigarette Lighter S60 2006

Can't figure out why my radio lights (just the radio lights, rest of the console lights are fine) are all out and the cigarette lighter is not working, the fuses are all OK. Had the indy mechanic check it out, but after he charged me $90 for 1.5 hours on diagnostics, told him not to worry.

need the cigarette lighter mostly to charge the phone

    Does the rear console cigarette lighter work? That is on the same fuse (#11 under the steering wheel). If the rear works, then there is probably a ground fault which is a real pain. If the rear also does not work, replace the fuse. You can look at the base of the front lighter and see if there is anything amiss, when the car is switched off of course.

    The radio lights are separate from the instrument/console lights. They are controlled by the radio and do not have a separate fuse.

      Have you tested the cigarette lighter with a test light or volt meter? Maybe your phone charger is kaput. Remember, the sockets are only live with the key on.

          I'd say that perhaps something is disconnected from the rear? If you were not the original owners perhaps someone was rooting around back there and disconnected the lighter. I do know from watching this video that if you pull the radio and climate control out its inevitable the lighter will unplug.

            No it is not, since it is intermittent, it does soemtimes comes on and may stay on for quite soem time, not related to hitting a hard bump.
