Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in the 2019 Audi A6L?
2 Answers
Audi A6L front cigarette lighter fuse is located on the side of the passenger compartment on the right side of the dashboard, while the rear cigarette lighter fuse is in the toolbox in the trunk. The cigarette lighter's power supply voltage is 12 volts, consistent with the vehicle's battery voltage. Typically, the cigarette lighter has a dedicated power line connected to it, not shared with other circuits, hence it has a separate fuse. Below is some relevant information about the Audi A6L: 1. Introduction to the Audi A6L: The Audi A6L is the first Audi model introduced into the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100 (code C3) introduced in 1988. 2. Body structure of the Audi A6L: The new Audi A6L is closer to the Audi flagship model, the Audi A8, in terms of body lightweight technology. The new Audi A6L adopts a steel-aluminum composite body structure, extensively using aluminum sheets, aluminum profiles, aluminum castings, and hot-formed steel, including body panels. Components such as the front suspension tower top, suspension tower top reinforcement bars, front and rear suspension structural parts, and front and rear bumper anti-collision beams all use aluminum parts of different processes, reducing the body weight including doors and covers by 16 kilograms.
I also encountered a sudden power loss in the cigarette lighter last year. After flipping through the manual for a while, I realized the 2019 A6L has two fuse locations. One is behind the small storage compartment in front of the driver's left leg—you need to remove the small cover to see it. There's also a fuse box on the right side of the trunk. The cigarette lighter fuse is usually the red 15A one, labeled F21 or F42. Replacing it yourself is actually super easy—just buy a box of fuses from the auto parts store for about ten bucks. Remember to turn off the engine and remove the key before replacing it. Last time I replaced it, I also found that plugging in a dash cam with too high power can blow the fuse, so now I just use a power bank. Oh, and the fuse box cover has a location diagram printed on the back—if you can't find it, just take a photo with your phone and compare it carefully.
