As a long-time car repairer, I know the location of the cigarette lighter fuse: In the 10th-generation Civic, the cigarette lighter fuse is located in the passenger-side footwell fuse box. You need to bend down and open the black plastic cover to see the diagram inside—the one marked with the cigarette lighter symbol is usually a 15-amp fuse.
Step 1: Ensure the car is turned off and the key is removed to avoid short circuits.
Step 2: Use tweezers to gently remove the old fuse and replace it with a new one of matching amperage—avoid using excessive force.
Step 3: Test if the cigarette lighter socket is working.
Common issues: Overloading the socket with high-power devices often blows the fuse—I’ve seen this many times. It’s best not to misuse the cigarette lighter socket as a power outlet. The fuse box location is fixed, but occasionally the cover may loosen, so check it to prevent dust from entering.
Regular minor maintenance can save you from major troubles, such as costly circuit damage repairs. I recommend periodically checking the fuse condition to ensure there’s no oxidation, keeping the electrical system healthy and safe.
