Then replace the fuse even though it looks good and pull the connector off
the back of the lighter. Should be voltage present if the key is in
position I or II (accessory or run). If still no voltage at the
connector,
start tracing for the broken wire. If there is voltage present and
lighter
& charger both don't work, try a different socket (local junkyard is
usually
a good source).
You don't say what year Maxima. Older ones (95-99) only have the 15a fuse
to the lighter, newer Nissans (my other FSM is for an '02 Pathfinder) have
a
relay between the fuse and the lighter and also a second fuse for the rear
lighter.
When all else fails, trace/check the ground wire(s).
