Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Envision?

The cigarette lighter fuse in the Envision is located in the fuse box on the passenger side. You need to open the passenger-side fuse box to find the fuse number for the cigarette lighter before replacing it. The Envision has a total of three fuse boxes: one in the cabin, one in the trunk, and another near the passenger seat. On the cover of each fuse box, there is a number and corresponding function for each fuse. The Envision is a midsize SUV under the Buick Envision series, measuring 4686 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, and 1660 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm. The two engines equipped in the Envision are made of all-aluminum material and feature advanced technologies such as DVT continuous variable valve timing, SIDI intelligent direct fuel injection, twin-scroll turbocharger, intercooler, hollow sodium-filled exhaust valves, and piston cooling jets.
I recently fixed the cigarette lighter issue on my Envision myself and found that the fuse is usually located in the fuse box under the driver's seat. There's a small cover panel below the lower left side of the dashboard—just lift it to reveal a diagram showing each fuse number. The cigarette lighter fuse is typically labeled 'F23' or 'CIG', but check your model year's manual as there might be slight variations across different Envision model years. A blown fuse is often caused by overload, such as using a high-power charger or running too many devices simultaneously. My advice is to first turn off and shut down the vehicle, then carefully open the cover to locate and replace the fuse with a spare 15A one using the diagram. Avoid tampering with other wires to prevent short circuits—it’s more convenient to keep spare fuses in your car’s storage compartment. Also, remember that the cigarette lighter has a current limit; avoid using devices exceeding 15A, like high-power inverters, to prevent recurring issues.
