Electrical fault with recently purchased car
The cigarette lighter & stereo controls don't work on my recently purchased car. I've changed the fuse and still no luck. Any other suggestions? Are they linked? The dealer won't cover electrical faults, just mechanicals.

If you bought it from a dealer the dealer has to cover it and fix it.
