The cigarette lighter fuse in the Audi A8L is located beneath the trim panel on the lower left side of the dashboard. The fuse, also known as a current fuse, primarily serves as overload protection. Taking the 2021 Audi A8L Comfort model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5302 mm, width 1945 mm, height 1483 mm, with a wheelbase of 3128 mm and a minimum ground clearance of 123 mm. The 2021 Audi A8L Comfort model is equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 286 hp, a maximum power output of 210 kW, and a maximum power speed range of 4500 to 6400 rpm.
I remember the cigarette lighter fuse for the Audi A8L is commonly located in the fuse box on the left side of the driver's seat. You need to open the small plastic cover panel there, and once removed, you'll see a row of fuses. The cigarette lighter fuse is usually labeled as F43 or a similar identifier, typically a 15A or 20A model. You can quickly locate it using the fuse diagram in the owner's manual, or alternatively, check the spare fuse box behind the right panel in the trunk. If the cigarette lighter suddenly stops working, it's likely due to a blown fuse, often caused by short circuits from overheating due to high-power devices like chargers. When replacing it yourself, always turn off the ignition first to avoid electric shock, then use specialized tweezers to gently pull out the fuse and check if it's melted. Replace it with a matching new fuse. To prolong its lifespan, remember to cover the cigarette lighter socket when not in use to prevent dust and foreign objects from causing short circuits.
