What is the reason for the cigarette lighter in the Reiz armrest box having no power?
2 Answers
The cigarette lighter socket, if not damaged or faulty due to external force, is likely experiencing a circuit fuse issue, resulting in protective circuit breaking. In this case, the fuse needs to be replaced. Below is an introduction to the Reiz car: 1. Introduction: The Reiz (REIZ) is the domestic name for the Japanese Toyota MARKX model. It was produced in October 2005 at the Tianjin FAW Toyota Plant No. 2, sharing the production line and chassis with the Crown, and equipped with the same six-speed automatic transmission as the Crown. 2. Powertrain: The Reiz adopts FR (front-engine, rear-wheel drive) technology, with engines being the Toyota 5GR-FE V6 all-aluminum engine and 3GR-FE V6 all-aluminum engine. The maximum power and maximum torque of these two engines are 145Kw, 242N.m and 170Kw, 300N.m respectively.
After driving a Toyota Reiz for over a decade, when the cigarette lighter in the center console suddenly loses power, it's usually due to a blown fuse. That cigarette lighter relies on a small fuse to protect the circuit—if you frequently use high-power chargers or plug/unplug devices often, it's prone to melting. In Reiz models, there's a dedicated fuse slot for the cigarette lighter in the fuse box, typically located beneath the storage compartment near the driver's seat. Just open it and follow the diagram to locate it. Another possible cause is aging or loose wiring. In older Reiz vehicles, prolonged use may lead to worn-out internal wiring in the console, causing a short circuit. Last time this happened to me, I checked the fuse, replaced it with a new one (costing just a dollar), and that fixed it. If there's still no power after replacing the fuse, inspect the cigarette lighter socket for signs of oxidation or burn marks, or have a professional shop check the overall circuit for safety. Remember to avoid using low-quality chargers to prevent overloading.
