Hi,

My cigarette lighter outlet in my trusty 1997 Volvo 850 at 152000 miles has stopped passing current so things like phone chargers and the GPS can not work any longer. Same with the heated front seats (though the passenger seat stopped working some time ago, but the driver’s seat is more recent). Is is possible that there is a fuse that has blown. If so, how do I diagnose this, or is this something that should go to a mechanic?

Thanks in advance.
