Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in Chery A1

[DeNaomi]

Automotive cigarette lighter fuses are generally located on the lower left side of the steering column. Actual structural damage to the cigarette lighter rarely occurs; most faults are caused by fuse failure. When replacing, you can also check the manual to determine the amperage of the cigarette lighter fuse. It's advisable to keep a few spare fuses in the car (they are very cheap, about 1 yuan each) for easy self-replacement. However, do not attempt to avoid burnout by increasing the fuse's amperage. The amperage of each fuse is designed based on safety considerations. Blindly increasing the fuse amperage can lead to extremely serious consequences, so this must be noted. Avoid using electrical devices with excessively high power on the cigarette lighter: the cigarette lighter's maximum power capacity is generally 120W. Exceeding this value can easily cause the cigarette lighter to overload, leading to various hazards such as burning out the lighter. Therefore, when using external devices, always check the maximum power and try to use devices with less than 120W. Properly plug and unplug the cigarette lighter: The cigarette lighter has a separate fuse device. The correct method is to insert and remove it vertically. Do not pull it out while shaking, as frequent shaking can loosen the fuse and cause a short circuit, which can easily burn out the fuse and external devices.

I used to drive a Chery A1 as well, and I encountered the cigarette lighter fuse issue. It's located in the fuse box under the steering wheel on the driver's side, specifically beneath a small plastic cover on the left side of the dashboard. After opening the cover, you'll see a row of fuses, among which there's one marked with a 'Cigarette Lighter' or 'CIG' icon—that 15A small blue glass tube is the one. If the cigarette lighter suddenly stops heating, chances are it's blown. I remember once when the cigarette lighter failed during a picnic, I opened the cover and sure enough, it was a fuse issue. I replaced it with a spare one myself, saving the hassle of calling a tow truck. Be careful when handling it—first, remove the car key to cut off the power, and don't check it while it's live, or you might cause a short circuit and damage the wiring. For daily use, avoid plugging high-power chargers into the cigarette lighter to extend the fuse's lifespan. There are diagrams on the fuse box cover; if you're not familiar, take a closer look before replacing it.

While driving, I found that the cigarette lighter fuse is usually located in the interior fuse box of the Chery A1, specifically under the steering wheel on the driver's side. Open that small plastic cover, and you'll see neatly arranged fuses with the cigarette lighter clearly labeled as a 15A blue tube. If the fuse blows, don't forcefully pull out the plug; first, confirm the cause of the fault, checking for overload or aging wiring. I usually make it a habit to inspect regularly, and if the cigarette lighter stops working, this is the first place I check to avoid being overcharged by roadside repair shops. Safety first—always turn off the engine and remove the key before any operation to prevent electric shock risks. When replacing the fuse, choose one with the same specifications; it can be done for under 20 yuan, no need to spend big at a 4S shop. Remember, the cover is clip-on, so gently pry it open—don't pull too hard and damage it.

As a new car owner, I also used to worry about the location of the Chery A1 cigarette lighter fuse. Later, I figured out that it's in the fuse box under the steering wheel. Open the plastic cover, and you'll see a row of small glass tubes inside. Look for the 15A fuse with the cigarette lighter symbol—it's the blue or yellow component. If the cigarette lighter stops heating up, first suspect a fuse issue. Replacing it yourself is simple: just buy the corresponding specification at an auto shop and plug it in to test. Before working on it, turn off the car's power to ensure safety. Usually, avoid plugging in high-power devices like fast phone chargers to reduce the chance of blowing a fuse.
