Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in the Mazda6?

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Mazda6 is located in the fuse box near the driver's left foot. It is a 15A fuse and can be removed using a fuse puller. The cigarette lighter is a standard component in all vehicles, designed to provide a convenient flame source for smokers. The central spring-loaded contact is the positive pole, while the side clips serve as the negative pole, directly connected to the car's battery with matching current and power specifications. The Mazda6 is a mid-to-high-end sedan introduced by Mazda, featuring dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1435mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2675mm. It is equipped with two engine options: a 2.0-liter and a 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder engine.
When my cigarette lighter stopped working, I first checked the manual. There's a plastic cover panel at the lower left of the driver's seat - prying it open reveals the fuse box. For Mazda6, the cigarette lighter fuse is usually in position F11, a 15A blue one. However, this may vary across different model years and configurations, so it's best to cross-check with the numbering diagram in the manual. A blown fuse will clearly show internal breakage - remember to fully cut power (turn off ignition and power supply) when replacing it. I recommend preparing needle-nose pliers and a small mirror for easier access to corner positions. Avoid using high-power car vacuum cleaners or charging too many devices simultaneously, as overload is the most common cause of blown fuses.
