The cigarette lighter fuse in Changan is located under the engine hood switch handle. Taking the 2019 Changan CS55 manual Xuanmu model as an example, it is a compact 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4500mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1690mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The 2019 Changan CS55 manual Xuanmu model is equipped with a 1.5T engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 225 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.

Last time I encountered an issue with the Changan cigarette lighter not working, I found the cause by opening the fuse box. Generally, the fuse box in Changan vehicles is located under the steering wheel or near the glove compartment. You need to lift the cover and look for the fuse position marked with the cigarette lighter icon. For example, Changan CS series models are often designed for easy daily inspection, but remember to turn off the power first to avoid short circuits. A blown fuse is commonly caused by overloaded charging devices—frequent use of a phone charger, like in my case, can easily trigger it. When replacing, use a new fuse with the appropriate amperage, and you can find the model number in the manual. It's best to prepare small pliers and spare parts before starting. Though this detail seems minor, it can affect the entire vehicle's electrical safety. Developing a habit of regular checks can save a lot of trouble.

As an automotive maintenance enthusiast, I have disassembled the fuse system of a Changan Eado before. The cigarette lighter fuse is typically located in the main fuse box inside the vehicle. You can find it by opening the side panel on the driver's side or the cover under the center console, often with clear icon indicators. When replacing it, testing with a multimeter to confirm if it's blown is more reassuring. The fuse models are mostly mini or micro types. A blown cigarette lighter fuse is often caused by using high-power appliances like vacuum cleaners, leading to current overload. Avoiding overuse can prevent such issues. If you can't locate it, checking the circuit diagram at a 4S shop is the most reliable. Safety steps include ensuring the vehicle is turned off before operation—a habit I learned from my car modification experience, which protects both myself and my beloved car.

As a new car owner, I recently dealt with a cigarette lighter issue in my Changan Ruicheng. The fuse location is in the fuse box on the left side of the steering wheel—just open the cover and you'll recognize it by the icon, the design is very intuitive. Don't panic, check if the fuse is blown; a simple pull and plug can tell. I recommend buying spare fuses to keep in the car, with the model number referenced from the vehicle manual. After driving for a while, I realized that a blown cigarette lighter fuse might be related to in-car charging devices. A regular quick check can help avoid surprises. For safety, remember to disconnect the power before handling—this little trick I learned has been quite helpful.
