Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Buick Verano?

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Buick Verano is located inside the fuse box under the cover panel below the center console. The fuse protects the circuit by melting and breaking the circuit when the current is too high or overheated. The Buick Verano is a compact car. Taking the 2020 Buick Verano Automatic Base model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4723mm, width 1802mm, height 1466mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters. The 2020 Buick Verano Automatic Base model is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125 hp and a maximum power of 92 kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving my Buick Verano for years, and the cigarette lighter fuse is located in the small compartment under the dashboard near the driver's knee. Just reach in and you'll feel a plastic cover—give it a gentle pull to open, and you'll see rows of fuses inside. Look for the one labeled 'Cigarette Lighter' or 'CIG,' usually in the middle row or towards the right, though the exact position depends on the model year. From my experience, if the cigarette lighter suddenly stops working, there's an 80% chance the fuse has blown, often due to overloading when charging a phone. I've replaced it a few times myself—just get a fuse with the same amperage and swap it in, but remember to turn off the engine and remove the key first—safety always comes first. It's also a good habit to regularly check the diagram on the cover for a quick inspection, so you won't be caught off guard on the road.
