2 Answers
The cigarette lighter fuse in the Chevrolet Sail is located in the storage compartment above the hood release handle on the left side of the steering wheel. Taking the 2013 Chevrolet Sail as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4249mm, width 1690mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 2465mm, fuel tank capacity 42L, trunk capacity 370L, and curb weight 1040kg. The 2013 Chevrolet Sail is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 87PS, maximum power of 64kW, maximum torque of 115Nm, and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Chevrolet Sail for almost ten years, and the location of the cigarette lighter fuse is actually quite common. It's usually on the left side of the dashboard below the steering wheel, near the driver's left foot. You'll need to squat down or lean over to see it—there's a small rectangular plastic cover that can be easily popped open, revealing a row of fuses inside. When looking for the fuse, refer to the diagram or labels on the cover, which typically indicate 'cigarette lighter,' 'cig lighter,' or similar wording. The fuse is often located in the middle-lower positions and is usually rated at 10A or 15A. If it blows, the cigarette lighter will stop working, often due to a short circuit in the car charger or overuse. You can test it with a multimeter or pull it out to check if the thin wire inside is broken. If it's blown, just replace it with a new fuse—don't force it, as this could cause bigger issues. I recommend checking it regularly, especially before long trips, to prevent unexpected problems.
