SOURCE: cigarette lighter fuse location

The cigarette fuse is located in the battery junction box under the hood, it is fuse # 10 and is a 20A fuse, open the hood and find the box it is on the passenger side towards the back of the compartment, it is 10th in line on the top row, also you can check these fuses without removing them through the clear plastic top so that should make things a little easier too, hope this helps

Hi Rudy

You will have to inspect the cigarette lighter closely, I suspect your son has bent the 2 terminals that make contact with the lighter, and this will continually giving you a dead short and blow your new fuse.
As for the other problem, your idea of shrink insulation sounds perfect.

Good Luck !

SOURCE: Cigarette lighter fuse location on Ford Escort ZX2 2002

I had exactly same problem. I could not use my GPS or charge my cell phone.
In front of the driver sit, there are actually 2 fuse boxes. You probably found the first one. A second one is located above well hidden. Once you find it, you'll find the fuse you are looking for.

SOURCE: cigarette lighter not working, already changed fuse

Look in your manual for the Power Distribution Box reference in Roadside Emergencies. It should be located under the hood on the driver's side. My 2002 Explorer has two power points on the center console and the 20A fuses in the Power Distribution Box for them are number 7 and number 9. They cost $3.99 each at AutoZone. The cigar lighter fuse under the dash is unrelated.

Good morning need to now what is fuse num 17 in my truck ford explorer xls. as soon is i try to put a fuse it pops

Hello, This 25 Amp fuse(#17) is for your cigarette lighter socket. If you used the socket for something else, you may have bent the terminals inside it. You will need to replace this socket as it is shorting out.

This should not be too expensive. Sometimes the autoparts stores have a display of HELP products for typical repairs and a socket going bad is common.

Power windows do not work

If you haven't already, start by checking the fuse. Also, is there anything else that doesn't work, like the intereior lights, cigarette lighter, etc., because that will tip you off as to if it is the fuse. Then if not, it's most likely your power switches. They will need to be replaced.

Why does the starter fuse on my 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport continues to burn out

I think this happened to my 03 montero sport. The problem was the cigarette lighter(it is on the same fuse as the ignition). It wasnt connected correctly and was shorting out the fuse. Since i dont smoke, I simply disconnected the cigarette lighter completely.

More cigarette lighter plugs

Yes. Recommend to have local repair/stereo shop perform installation due to running new wiring and fusing circuits.
