When the cigarette lighter socket stops working and the main cause is not a blown fuse, it means you need to check the internal connector to replace the socket. To perform this operation on a Fiat Bravo model 187, you need to remove the centre console.

Lift the base of the gear lever gaiter to access the internal mechanism and unscrew the screws at the base of the lower console. After removing the gear lever gaiter, unscrew the screws using a cross screwdriver.

Unclip the centre console using a flat screwdriver and unscrew the locking screws on the sides. Remove the centre console, being careful not to damage the connectors and bulbs that control the operation of the air conditioning fans.

Remove the cigarette lighter socket block. Extract the socket by pushing it outwards.

Replace the socket and check the connector. If the connector shows no defects, it does not need to be replaced.

Insert the new socket into the block, connect the connector, and proceed with reassembling the upper and lower centre console following the reverse procedure.
