Audi A6L cigarette lighter fuse location: 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 rear cigarette lighter fuse is in the toolbox in the trunk. Below is some related information about the Audi A6L: Introduction to the Audi A6L: The Audi A6L was the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100 (code-named C3) introduced in 1988. Body structure of the Audi A6L: The new Audi A6L is closer to the flagship Audi A8 in terms of lightweight body technology. The new Audi A6L features a steel-aluminum composite body structure, extensively using aluminum sheets, aluminum profiles, aluminum castings, and hot-formed steel, including body panels. Various aluminum components with different processes are used for the front suspension tower top, suspension tower top reinforcement bars, front and rear suspension structural components, and front and rear bumper impact beams, reducing the body weight, including doors and covers, by 16 kilograms.
Oh, I bought a 2020 Audi A6L the year before last, and I'm quite familiar with the cigarette lighter fuse issue since I've tinkered with it myself. Generally, it's located inside the glove compartment. You need to open the passenger side door first, sit inside, stretch your legs a bit, lift the bottom cover of the glove compartment, and then gently pry open a plastic partition to reveal the entire fuse array. The cigarette lighter fuse is usually labeled F40 or F36, but you’ll need to check the vehicle’s user manual on a specific page to confirm. That time, I connected a high-power USB charger to the cigarette lighter, and the current overload blew the fuse—the lighter light went out, so I quickly pulled over and replaced it with a spare fuse from the spare tire compartment. A reminder to everyone: when replacing the fuse, don’t use the wrong amperage—the factory default is 15A. DIY is simple, but safety comes first; don’t be careless, or you might risk a short circuit and sparks. Regularly checking the fuse condition during maintenance can prevent sudden failures. The cigarette lighter design in luxury cars like Audi is great but prone to minor issues.
