I run an auto repair shop and frequently deal with Mercedes-Benz issues, including the cigarette lighter fuse for the S350. In most cases, the fuse is located in the fuse box under the hood, especially in older models. After opening the hood, locate the black box near the right side of the windshield. Open its cover, and you'll find a diagram or sticker indicating the fuse number, such as F32 or a similar label for the cigarette lighter position—usually a blue 15A fuse. Always turn off the engine and remove the key before replacement, and use a fuse puller to avoid electric shock. If you can't find it under the hood, it might be hidden behind a small panel on the side of the dashboard inside the car, where spare fuses are also stored. Regularly checking the fuse can prevent unexpected failures and ensure the cigarette lighter functions properly for charging or heating devices.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz S350 for several years and have had the cigarette lighter fuse fail twice, both times I fixed it myself. The fuse is located behind a small panel above the driver's footwell. Specifically, open the cover near your knee to see the fuse box, which contains various fuses. The cigarette lighter fuse is often labeled F32 or is a 20A blue mini-fuse. From my experience, consulting the owner's manual is the most reliable method, as the location can vary by model year—for example, newer models tend to place it more inside the cabin. Always ensure the vehicle is turned off before replacing the blown fuse with tweezers. After installing the new fuse, test the cigarette lighter to confirm it's working again. For safety, don't skip this step to avoid the risk of a short circuit. If you're unsure, it's more convenient to have it checked at an authorized 4S shop.
