Cigareete lighter/power outlets dont work - Colorado Chevrolet Cars & Trucks

Yours is under the back seat. The panel lid is marked for the fuses.

The info should be in your owners manual.
There should be a 15 or 20amp fuse in the box near the battery for the cig lighter. There may also be one for "power outlet" or accessory outlet.

some of these use a fueable link wire near the connecting block under the hood also.. be checking this too if in doubt though you can always rewire these fairly simply

There are actually FIVE cigarette lighter/ Auxilliary Power Outlets shown in the wiring diagrams for your vehicle.
The Instrument Panel [1] Accessory Power Outlet (Cigarette Lighter) is protected by the "LTR" Fuse (# 53 - 20 Amp) in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment.

The Instrument Panel [2] Accessory Power Outlet is protected by the "AUX PWR" Fuse (20 Amp) In the Instrument Panel Fuse Block on the left side of the dash.

The Center Seat Accessory Power Outlet and the (two) Center Console Power Outlets are protected by the "AUX PWR 2" Fuse (20 Amp) In the Instrument Panel Fuse Block on the left side of the dash. NOTE: If your vehicle is not equipped with the Center Seat Accessory Power Outlet, or the Custom Floor Console (optional), this fuse position will most likely be empty.

Probably a fuse if blown out
The fuses are under the dash on the left knee of the driver or under the hood near the windshield

Hope this helps you

Please find time to rate me.

m6 cigarrete lighter fuse is located under the mat and can find the guide to which their as well. its fuse number 22IIRC.

Short answer - don't.

Longer answer - even if you can buy a lighter from an auto parts store and make it work in a power outlet, you'll melt your dash.


Power outlets are designed to deliver power, but not to take the heat of a lighter. Lighter outlets are wrapped in multiple layers of metal and thermal insulation so they can safely hold a hot lighter, and none of that is present on a power outlet.

Check the engine compartment. It's definitely a fuse that has blown.

dont forget the ground

My brother had the same issue on his RX300.
