What to Do When the Cigarette Lighter Fails to Pop Out Normally?

[DiCharlotte]

If it's not heating up (turning red) but simply won't pop out, the issue is likely a blown fuse, meaning the cigarette lighter isn't receiving power, which prevents it from popping out normally. You can replace the cigarette lighter fuse yourself by following these steps: 1. Locate the fuse box for the car's electrical components—it may be inside the glove box or under the dashboard, depending on the vehicle model. 2. Open the fuse box cover and refer to the fuse location diagram on the inside of the cover to find the position of the cigarette lighter fuse. 3. Use the provided fuse puller to remove the blown fuse and replace it with a new or spare cigarette lighter fuse. Below is a detailed introduction to the cigarette lighter: The cigarette lighter operates at a voltage of 12 volts, matching the vehicle's battery voltage. Typically, the cigarette lighter has its own dedicated power line, separate from other circuits, hence it has its own dedicated fuse. The correct method of use is to insert and remove it vertically without shaking it, as frequent wiggling during removal can lead to loosening, short circuits, and damage to the fuse or external devices.
