Friend of mine works in auto electrics and the number one cause of blown cigar lighter fuse is folk plugging / unplugging sat nav charger and shorting the connections out.

Do you have auto folding mirrors & do they work...?

The mirrors are on the same loom as the radio & sockets..

I'm thinking you radio maybe wired differently thus giving a false impression all is well on that circuit?? :-k :idea: :arrow:

Some, if not all, of the cig. sockets on Bongo's have a built in fuse on the connectors at the rear, trying pulling it out and having a close examination, you might find the melted remains between a couple of the connectors.
