2888431 - N01 CIGAR LIGHTER/CURRENT SOCKET NOT WORKING

With the ignition key in the ON position, when the cigar lighter is pressed or when a consumer is connected to the special connector, the cigar lighter/current socket is not working.
The power sockets all have a heat protection device: if devices with high energy absorption are connected, this protection cuts off the supply.
