Where is the Changan cigarette lighter fuse located?
4 Answers
Changan cigarette lighter fuse is generally located behind the front storage box on the passenger side. Here are some introductions about the cigarette lighter: 1. The cigarette lighter is a component found in all cars, used as a fire source to conveniently light cigarettes for the owner. 2. The cigarette lighter is mainly used in places where open flames are prohibited, such as factories and workshops, where lighting a cigarette requires the use of a cigarette lighter. Additionally, besides being used for lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can also be equipped with a car inverter, which can convert the car's 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for use with ordinary electrical appliances.
I once dealt with the cigarette lighter issue on my Changan car myself. The fuse is usually located in the car's fuse box, which might be under the front dashboard or near the center console, depending on the model. In my old CS75, the cigarette lighter fuse was behind a small panel on the left side of the driver's seat. You need to turn off the cigarette lighter power or unplug the lighter first, then open that small cover. Inside, there's a diagram labeling each fuse, and you can find the one for the cigarette lighter, usually marked 'CIG' or a similar symbol. If the fuse is blown, it's often due to the cigarette lighter being overloaded, like plugging in too many devices or chargers. Remember to use a test pen to check if it's broken. If it's blown, replace it with a new fuse—the specifications are written on the back of the cover. Avoid using high-power devices regularly, keep the cigarette lighter clean, and prevent short circuits to avoid bigger electrical problems.
As a frequent driver of Changan vehicles, I find the cigarette lighter fuse location relatively easy to locate. It's generally inside the fuse box on the driver's side. For some models like the Eado, it's beneath the front center console - you'll need to crouch down and flip open a small panel to see all the fuses neatly arranged. First check if the cigarette lighter still responds. If there's no power, it's likely a blown fuse. Then inspect each fuse one by one to identify the broken one. Note that fuse colors correspond to amperage - the cigarette lighter typically uses a 15A blue fuse. If you can't locate it, consult your vehicle manual which contains detailed diagrams. It's best not to tamper randomly to avoid damaging other components. If all else fails, visit a repair shop to borrow tools. By the way, a non-functional cigarette lighter could also be due to a dirty or stuck socket - try cleaning it first.
The cigarette lighter fuse in my Changan car has blown before. It is usually located in the interior fuse box, mostly under the cover below the steering wheel. After turning off the vehicle power, lift the cover and locate the cigarette lighter fuse according to the diagram. If it's blown, replace it with a new one. Don't forget to check if there's any debris blocking the cigarette lighter socket.
