I have extensive experience in car repairs. The cigarette lighter fuse for a BMW 525 is usually hidden inside the glove box. Open the glove box and look inside—there's a small plastic cover on the left side or top. Gently pry it open to reveal the fuse box, which is densely labeled with small icons. Look for the one marked with a cigarette symbol or the word "cig"—that's the target fuse. It typically uses a 15-amp fuse; if it blows, simply replace it by pulling out the old one and inserting a new one. Blown cigarette lighter fuses are quite common, often caused by high-power car chargers or aging/short-circuited wiring. I recommend keeping spare fuses in the car—don’t underestimate this. If the cigarette lighter fails, your navigation and charging devices will stop working, affecting driving safety. During car washes, take a moment to wipe around the fuse box to keep it dry, which can reduce the chance of malfunctions. For more accuracy, check the owner’s manual or BMW forum diagrams online.
