Hey, I have a 2003 Eclipse and I'm having a few problems with it. For about six months now my digital display on the dash (that shows the radio station, etc.) doesn't even come on. Also my cigarette lighter doesn't work. I checked the fuses in the car and they all seem to be ok. If you have any idea what could be a potential problem, please let me know. Thank you

 

Some fuses are hard to find and sometimes they dont always look burnt out. I missed a burnt fuse once and i was sure that i had already checked it ...

 

I looked at all the fuses in the fuse box (underneath the hood) and tested them with a tester. It said they were all ok. Are there other fuses that I could have missed?

 

I could, and probably am, but is there another set of fuses?

On my 2G Eclipse, there were 2 sets of Fuses. There was one under the hood and one under the dash on the drivers side under the steering wheel. could check there.

 

I was thinkin that... but i dont think there is another on the 3g

 

::Shrugs:: i know a lot of new cars also have half and half like the 2Gs.

Check and let us know.

 

Hey, just went down and checked.... no such luck : (

 

Have you taken the dash apart and checked for a loose wire? Test the wires where they hook up to the display and lighter to make sure they aren't getting juice.

 

I had the very same problem with my 2000 GT. In the fuse box inside the car is a fuse marked cig lighter if I am not mistaken it is the 3rd down 2nd row from right. The box says to use a 15 I have used 15 and 20 both work fine however, when ever you use that lighter the fuse blows again. Major defect yet not a recall. Just don't use the lighter you should be fine. BTW the lighter outlet in the armrest is not on that current so use that one for charger. Or keep a few fuses in car at all times.

 

thats crazy. have you found a way to fix that problem? check the wires to see if they're getting grounded or touching somewhere else?

just a thought
