Fuses where is the fuse for the lighter?

Check for battery voltage on the cable at the lighter, If ok replace lighter , if no voltage check fuse and connection from fuse box to lighter.

the cigarette lighter fuse is usually the radio,clock ,instrument panel illumination fuse as well .If these other items are working ok i'd have to say the cigarrette lighter heat element is burned out or there is a loose /disconnected wire to the cigarette lighter socket

Often fuses are numbered to correspond with the accessory or function being controlled. A lighter may be a 15A or 20A fuse saying
16 LIGHTER in a fuse box listing of all the fuses. A lighter is typically on its own fuse. It may also be identified as
16 Front Accessory Socket

I have found that for the most part although fuses are listed by a corresponding number it is listed as a LIGHTER.

Fuse number 18 20amp is for cigarette lighter.Its located in the trunk compartment fuse box. ------- If you need fuse box diagram showing the cigarette lighter fuse.Click the link below and see the diagram:---

check all the fuses with a test light at the fuse panel as you may have more than one fuse bad.replace the fuse and operate the rear hatch and if it works then and the fuse isn`t blown then you probably have a lighter assembly that is blowing the fuse.to find out which one activate each one separately and check the fuse after trying each one before trying another one.the lighter that blows the fuse you may have to replace the lighter element or the lighter socket to stop the fuse from blowing.

i think its a line fuse cigar lighter/ power outlets go direct .

Hi! The cigarette fuse is somehow interconnected with the radio fuse. If no luck, then i believe that the cigarette lighter needs to be replaced. Hope this helps and have a good one!

The front lighter is powered by fuse 24(20 amp) in the interior fuse panel and the other lighter or power point is powered by fuse 12 (20 amp) in the under hood fuse box

Hi, grab a voltmeter and test volts at car lighter connector, near to car lighter socket, if there is volts in there (uncommon) , then check for short or broken contact on car lighter socket, or replace the first socket connected in line.

If there is no voltage getting to cig lighter, check the two connections at the back of the fuse box, on the cigarette lighter fuse.

If there is volts only on one side, then fuse is gone again, in that case there is a short on wiring, maybe on one of lighters, locate it and fix it.

If there is power on both sides of the fuse, then fix or replace wiring between fuse box and cigarette lighter, one wire is broken.

If there is no power on both sides of lighter fuse, then fix the wiring between fuse box cig. lighter contact and battery, if this is too complicate you can even build a new wiring and solder in place of the old one.

If the lighters have more than one fuse, do the same job for both lighter. Cig. lighters do not use a relay, and there is no additional fuse, the above procedure is enough to fix any possible problem on such a simple device.

If you have no practice with this kind of repair on car electrical system, then better to go to a car electrician or mechanic rather then messing up the car electric system.

Please do not forget to leave us feedback afterward, that is important for us.

Many thanks.

These Car Heaters will blow the Fuse or Burn the Hot wire to the Lighter every time. They were never Tested Properly for todays cars. Remove the Lighter and check the wires that go to the Lighter. Get a Flashlight and check the Fuses REALLY Close.
