Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the 10th-generation Accord?

The 10th-generation Accord has two cigarette lighter fuses. One is located under the dashboard on the driver's side, and the other is behind the right-side panel in the trunk. The fuse box usually clearly marks the position of each component's fuse. Before inspection, completely turn off the engine and all electrical equipment. Locate the corresponding position, use a small pry tool to open the protective cover, and check the cigarette lighter fuse position on the cover—it's the second one in the first column. Then use a test pen to check the fuse. If one contact lights up while the other doesn't, it indicates the fuse is likely blown. Use pliers to remove the burnt fuse and replace it with a new one. Fuses are crucial components of electrical equipment. Improper current or voltage control may burn out the fuse, potentially causing short-circuit damage to electrical devices or even serious consequences like vehicle fires. How to use the cigarette lighter: The cigarette lighter socket is usually located in the center console, marked with a cigarette-shaped icon (or voltage value). Press the button to activate automatic heating. When heating is complete, it will pop out with an audible sound. Remove the lighter and use the heated end to light cigarettes by gently touching them to the heating element. The cigarette lighter doesn't produce an open flame, making it the recommended method for smoking while driving.
I'm the owner of a 10th-generation Accord and enjoy tinkering with my car. The cigarette lighter fuse is located in the fuse box on the driver's side, beneath the instrument panel. You can find a small plastic box by bending down near the left foot pedal. Open the lid, and you'll see various fuses inside. The one for the cigarette lighter is usually labeled "CIG LIGHTER" or "12V SOCKET"—it's a small rectangular 15-amp fuse. I remember once when my cigarette lighter suddenly stopped working because I overloaded it with a USB charger, blowing the fuse. Replacing it with a spare fixed the issue right away. I recommend keeping a few of these fuses in your car and avoiding high-power devices to prevent trouble.
The cigarette lighter fuse in the 10th-generation Accord is conveniently located in the driver's side fuse box, specifically behind the panel near the driver's left leg. Lift off that plastic cover, and you'll see a row of color-coded fuses; look for the one marked with an icon or letters like "ACC," typically rated at 15 amps. Common causes of burnout include using high-power chargers or short circuits in devices. If the cigarette lighter stops working, check here first. When replacing, use specialized pliers to pull out the old fuse, and ensure the new one matches the power rating. Regularly checking the cleanliness of the fuse box can help reduce corrosion issues.
