I remember last time my Magotan B8's cigarette lighter broke, so I checked the fuse location. It's usually in the fuse box on the left side of the cabin, behind that small cover panel under the steering wheel. When you open the cover, you'll see a bunch of fuses labeled with numbers and function icons. The cigarette lighter fuse is typically numbered F15 or F20, depending on the model year—the manual explains it clearly. I tried replacing it myself, and it's quite simple: turn off the engine, pull out the old fuse, find a new one with the same amperage (e.g., 10A or 15A), and plug it in securely. Just be careful not to touch the metal parts directly with your hands—use plastic tweezers for safety. Otherwise, a short circuit could damage other wiring. I recommend checking your fuses regularly to avoid sudden failures that might disrupt phone charging or GPS use. From experience, it's best to consult official diagrams or videos before DIY repairs to avoid mistakes.
