Im trying to fix a burned out cigarette lighter in the front of my 2003 saturn vue. I replaced the hardware thinking that it was just an old unit, but it still doesnt work. I would replace the fuse if I knew where it was located. Where do I find the fuse for a cigarette lighter in a 2003 2wd vue?

A salvage yard would be a likely source of interchangeability information.

Check your owners manual for the location of the light fuse and check it, if that's not the issue pick up a replacement lighter at your local parts store and it's a simple install, just unplug the old one and plug the new one in once it's mounted in your ashtray or wherever it may be. A simple fix, no Worries!

There is no in line fuse , CIGAR/AUX2 fuse 20 amp under hood fuse box . Auxillary power outlet front AUX1 fuse 15 amp. pull cig lighter out an check for B+ voltage on orange wire .

Saturn parts are hard to get if the vehicle is more than 10 years old.

the fuse you need is a yellow20 amp under the hood in the fuse blcok by the left front of the car by the battery,,,its for cig/aux,,,,,check it and replace it if its blown,,,that one conrtols that cicuit

I have had the same problem. Dealer said it was a corroded wiring connection. They changed it and problem was fixed. I suspect a lot of corrosion problems will occur eventually on my Saturn including the rear wiper wiring, which has gradually stopped working.

The memory wire of the radio,(the power for the clock and channel settings) is usually connected to the same circuit as the cigarette lighter. (there is a seperate fuse for radio) Check your cigarette lighter socket for damage or dirt, etc. could be causing the memory fuse to blow. Also check your cig lighter accesories (like cell phone chargers,etc.)

P.S. The backlight is also a seperate circuit (connected to interior light/parking light circuit)

It sounds like you have a bad charging cable for the GPS or the cable is overloading the cigarette lighter.

The cigarette lighter is designed for less power then a 12v power outlet.

Therefore it is easy to blow the fuse for the cigarette light if you install something that draws too much power.
