Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in a classic Ford Focus?

[LeJake]

Ford Focus cigarette lighter fuse is located in the passenger compartment fuse box, which is inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The cigarette lighter operates at 12 volts, matching the vehicle battery voltage. Typically, the cigarette lighter has a dedicated power line connected to it, separate from other circuits, hence it has an independent fuse. Common mistakes when using the cigarette lighter include: 1. Not unplugging external devices during startup: External devices connected to the cigarette lighter can easily burn out due to the high current surge when the vehicle starts, especially MP3 players and USB drives which are particularly prone to issues. 2. Not unplugging external devices when turning off the engine: Depending on the vehicle's settings, some cigarette lighters remain powered even after the vehicle is turned off, leading to unnecessary battery drain if external devices are left plugged in for extended periods. 3. Wiggling during plug insertion/removal: Excessive movement when plugging or unplugging can deform the curved spring contacts of the device's plug, resulting in loose connections and intermittent power issues. 4. Frequently bumping the cigarette lighter plug while operating the vehicle, causing it to become loose.
