Front 12v socket not working

[feeutfo]

Back works, not the front.

We had it out recently for an ice install and we where carefully to observe the ash tray light come on. Which it does now. But no power to 13v socket.

Just nought a dinky charger that allows the ash tray to be closed while charging me phone. It's a tight fit in the front but fine in the back aux socket.

I do have a spate ash tray complete. Just looking for pointers before go in and break the wrong bits off.

Is the ash tray on a facelift car similar to a prefacelift?  :-/ Earlier car's ashtrays, inc ciggy lighter, just pull out after you've removed the central self taper, is has its own 4 pin plug/socket that makes contact when pushed fully home. The ashtray light is part of the central console (just replaced a backlight on mine yesterday  )

you seem to have an extra volt on your lighter socket

You guessed it

[feeutfo]

Too scared of breaking the ash tray. As it's such a tight fit.

And guess what. Ash tray now broke. 

Fits fine in the rear aux socket. No problem at all.   :-?
