Where is the cigarette lighter fuse box in the Volkswagen Sagitar?

There are two cigarette lighter fuse boxes in the Volkswagen Sagitar. One is located under the dashboard on the driver's side, and the other is inside the right-side panel of the trunk. Instructions for using the cigarette lighter: 1. The cigarette lighter socket is usually located in the center console area, marked with a cigarette-shaped icon. Press the button, and after 10 to 60 seconds, the cigarette lighter device will pop up, accompanied by an audible click; 2. Be sure to pick up the device by the popped-up side and use the opposite side to light the cigarette by gently touching the tip to the heating element; 3. It is advisable to avoid smoking while driving. If smoking is necessary, use the cigarette lighter to minimize safety risks. The Sagitar is equipped with Volkswagen's EA211 series engines, offering three powertrain options: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, a 1.4TSI standard power version, and a 1.4TSI high-power version. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic with manual mode, and a 7-speed DSG transmission.
I also encountered a cigarette lighter issue when I drove my Volkswagen Sagitar before. The fuse box is usually hidden under the dashboard near the driver's left foot. There's a small plastic cover there—just lift it to see a bunch of fuses. The specific fuse for the cigarette lighter is often labeled F38 or something similar, but it's best to check the manual to confirm. If the cigarette lighter suddenly stops working, it's most likely a blown fuse due to overloading the current when charging your phone or using the lighter. Once you locate it, just buy a 15A fuse to replace the old one. Use pliers to carefully pull out the bad fuse and insert the new one, but make sure to disconnect the power first to prevent a short circuit. Safety first—check if the cigarette lighter socket is loose or has water damage, and regular dust cleaning can prevent issues. If you can't find the location, take a photo and ask on a car forum. Beginners should proceed with caution when handling this themselves.
