The cigarette lighter fuse in a Volvo XC60 is located at the lower left side of the glove compartment on the passenger side. Taking the 2020 Volvo XC60 as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with the following dimensions: length 4688mm, width 1902mm, height 1658mm, wheelbase 2865mm, and curb weight 1801kg. The 2020 Volvo XC60 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 190PS, maximum power of 140kW, and maximum torque of 300Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

My XC60's cigarette lighter suddenly lost power before, and I did some research on this issue. There are two fuse box locations: one above the driver's side footwell with a cover that can be gently pried open using a plastic pry tool, and another small cover on the right side of the trunk where spare fuses are stored. The fuse for the cigarette lighter is usually in the driver's side box, numbered between F37 and F42—check your car's manual for the exact position. Last time I replaced it, I found the original was a 15A blue fuse; just pull it out with tweezers and replace it with a new one. Remember to turn off the power and remove the car key before replacing to avoid short circuits. If you can't locate it, the circuit diagram section in the user manual will definitely help.

If the cigarette lighter isn't working, there's an 80% chance the fuse is blown. The XC60 has a very user-friendly design - the fuse box is conveniently located below the driver's seat on the left side. Just crouch down and you'll see a plastic cover that can be easily pried open with your fingers. All fuses inside are numbered, and the one for the cigarette lighter is usually labeled 'cig lighter' or '12v socket' - I recall they're mostly orange and blue in color. Replacing it is actually super simple: prepare a fuse of the same specification, turn off the car, then use tweezers to remove the old one and insert the new. I recommend keeping some spare fuses in the glove compartment to avoid being caught off guard by emergencies. If the new fuse blows immediately, there might be a coin stuck in the cigarette lighter socket causing a short circuit.

The cigarette lighter fuse for the Volvo XC60 is located on the left side of the driver's footwell. Lift the plastic cover, and you'll find the fuse array inside the small white square. Fuses numbered 37-42 are typically for the cigarette lighter circuit; refer to the vehicle manual diagram for specifics. A 15-amp fuse is most commonly used. Remember to turn off the ignition before pulling or inserting the fuse. This area isn't frequently accessed, so the clips might be tight—use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it open. After replacement, don't rush to reassemble; first test the power supply before putting the cover back on. Doing it yourself takes just five minutes, much more convenient than visiting a repair shop.
