Cigarette Lighter Lighting: Won't Work with LDA

Hello,


I just installed my LDA.
I wanted to use the cable from the cigarette lighter socket to power the lighting for the LDA (likely referring to a specific device or system).
So, I unplugged the connector from the ignition system (the connector has 3 wires) to see which one was for the lights -> it's the blue/white wire.
When I was taking it out, the radio turned on <- strange?
Okay, LDA lighting cables completed.

Problem: The cigarette lighter and the LDA (License Plate Lamp) are not working.

I've already checked the fuses (number 21 -> cigarette lighter) – they are okay.
The remaining interior lighting is working.

What could be wrong with that?


Please help!
Thank you.


Regards,
DJ.

Most likely, your car is currently plotting something mischievous, and you're about to thwart its plans using LDA.
That's why he's now taking revenge with bizarre copper worms...

Seriously, that's a bit too much for me.
Normally, all the instrument panel lighting is connected to one fuse, as far as I know -> either everything works or nothing at all... but it's a different fuse than the one for the "main power" that powers the starter!

Yeah, I think that's weird too...
Well, I guess I'll have to do a little more searching.


Thank you very much.

Did you temporarily turn the ignition back on? (Silly question, but some comfort control units send signals even in standby mode...)

Maybe the plug is just loose.
This has happened to me while assembling something before too...

Maybe the plug is simply disconnected?
This has also happened to me once while assembling something...


Hi,

Apparently, the coil (from the Zigi) is defective.

Can someone tell me which one is the negative cable?
There are three wires connected to the plug.

Best regards,
DJ.
