Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in the Sylphy?

[EmmettMarie]

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.

During the last road trip, the car refrigerator suddenly lost power, and it turned out that the cigarette lighter fuse in the Nissan Sylphy blew. I found the rectangular fuse box above the driver's left foot, opened the cover, and saw the icons on the inner wall indicating the fuses. Look for the 15A blue fuse, which might be labeled "CIGAR." When replacing it, pay attention to three things: make sure to turn off the ignition, use a dedicated fuse puller to remove and insert it vertically, and ensure the new fuse has the exact same amperage. Also, remember to check if the cigarette lighter socket is blocked by any foreign objects—in my case, a coin had fallen in and caused a short circuit. It's best to unplug the charger when parking to avoid standby power consumption issues.

When I first bought the Nissan Sylphy, the cigarette lighter wouldn't charge. I spent quite a while figuring out the fuse location. Under the steering wheel on the left side, in front of the knee position, there's a storage compartment-shaped cover panel. You can pry it open along the edge with your fingernail to reveal three rows of colored mini fuses. The cigarette lighter fuse is usually the blue 15A one at the bottom of the left column. Replacing it yourself is simple - just pull it out by hand after turning off the engine. But note that the factory-installed fuses are mini ATO size - buying the wrong model won't fit. This issue often occurs when using cigarette lighter expanders, especially with triple adapters that easily overload. It's safest to use it alone.

My colleague's Sylphy cigarette lighter failed, so I helped him look up information to locate the fuse. The fuse box is hidden behind the interior panel above the driver's left foot and can only be seen by lying on your back. Specifically, it's the small blue 15A fuse labeled P/W OUT or CIG, located in the middle row of the fuse box. Remember to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for safety before working, and use needle-nose pliers wrapped with tape for the operation. Owners who frequently experience blown fuses in the cigarette lighter should check the alternator's output voltage, as excessive voltage can also cause frequent fuse failures. If you can't handle it yourself, a Nissan dealership charges around 30 yuan for replacing a fuse.
