I need to get a ball park idea regarding fixing or replacing the cigarette lighter in my car--- 2005 Hyundai Accent specifically, but curious how much it would cost for any car. It is not a fuse problem--- when I was pulling my phone charger out, it ripped some component out with it (a metal ring and a smaller metal piece). If I try to plug something it, it sparks and caused my GPS unit to reset, etc.
My car is from the early 70s and replacing the the cigarette light was cheap. I bought a new one at auto zone for like 5 bucks and installed it in like 4 seconds. But im not sure how easy it is to replace them in new cars. Just make sure you get the right replacement. i made that mistake.
About 5 bucks and 5 minutes
