Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in a 2013 Audi?

The fuse for the front cigarette lighter is located on the side of the passenger compartment on the right side of the dashboard, while the fuse for the rear cigarette lighter is in the toolbox in the trunk. Here is some relevant information: 1. In addition to lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can also be equipped with a car inverter, which converts the car's 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for use with ordinary electrical appliances. For example, it can charge mobile electronic devices. It is best to use a split-type car inverter, with the power of the electrical appliance limited to below 150W, and the output current should not exceed the battery current. 2. The power voltage of the cigarette lighter is 12 volts, consistent with the vehicle's battery voltage. Usually, the cigarette lighter has a separate power line connected to it, not mixed with other circuits, so it has a separate fuse.
The cigarette lighter fuse for the 2013 Audi is usually hidden in two places. When I helped a friend repair his car last time, I specifically researched this. One is behind the plastic cover near the driver's left knee—just open that small cover to see the fuse box. The other might be in the storage compartment below the steering wheel on the left side. When searching, first locate the number and wattage; the cigarette lighter fuse is usually a 15A red fuse, likely positioned between F12 and F20—check the car's manual for specifics. If you can't find it, opening the front fuse box in the engine compartment might reveal a backup. Always turn off the engine and disconnect the power before replacing a fuse, or you risk burning the circuit board. I recommend keeping some spare fuses in the glove box for emergencies in case of sudden failure.
