Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in the Sylphy?

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Sylphy is located inside the fuse box under the cover panel on the left side of the steering wheel. The cigarette lighter is a component found in all cars, designed to provide a flame source for smokers. Commonly referred to as cigarette lighters, they can be divided into those that draw power from the vehicle's electrical system. Some manufacturers produce cigarette lighters not for lighting cigarettes but for drawing power from the car, which are also known as cigar lighters. The steps to replace a cigarette lighter fuse are as follows: 1. Open the fuse box or the designated fuse storage compartment in the car. 2. Refer to the corresponding chart to locate the cigarette lighter fuse among the many fuses. 3. Carefully remove the cigarette lighter fuse, ensuring not to touch other electrical components. 4. Upon removal, you will notice the fuse has blown. Measure the fuse size, purchase a new one accordingly, and reinstall it.
I also encountered a problem with the cigarette lighter not supplying power when I drove a Sylphy before. Later, I found out the fuse was in the fuse box under the steering wheel. Squat down and look at the position near your left knee on the driver's seat, there's a small cover that you can pry open. In my case, it was the 15A fuse labeled CIG or cigarette lighter that blew. When replacing it yourself, remember to first remove the key to cut off the power, then carefully pull it out with tweezers and replace it with a new 15A fuse of the same color. However, it's worth noting that the cigarette lighter supports a maximum of 120W. Last time, mine blew because I connected a high-power vacuum cleaner. It's perfectly sufficient for charging phones normally. It's a good idea to keep a few spare fuses in the glove box—you can buy ten for just one yuan at an auto parts store.
My friend's car charger suddenly stopped lighting up, so I helped check the cigarette lighter fuse on the Nissan Sylphy. This car has two fuse boxes, and the one for the cigarette lighter is located near the driver's left foot. You'll need to crouch down to see it - there's a black plastic cover with clips. After opening it, you'll find densely packed fuse blades inside. Look for the blue 15A fuse, which might be in position 12 or 20. Remember to turn off the engine and power when replacing it, and use the plastic tweezers from the tool kit. By the way, coins can easily fall into the cigarette lighter socket and cause short circuits - I've seen several car friends fall victim to this. Always remember to disconnect power when cleaning for safety.
