Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Ford Kuga?
2 Answers
Ford Kuga's cigarette lighter fuse is located below the glove compartment on the passenger side. It becomes visible upon opening the glove box. The fuses used in vehicles serve essentially the same purpose as household fuses, functioning to protect the electrical circuits. The Ford Kuga is an SUV model under the Ford brand, with vehicle dimensions of 4524mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1701mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2690mm. The 1.5T variant of the Ford Kuga is equipped with the CAF479WQ4 engine model, delivering a maximum power output of 134kW, maximum horsepower of 182Ps, maximum torque of 243Nm, and a torque range spanning from 1700 to 4500rpm.
I've driven several Ford Escapes and encountered the cigarette lighter fuse issue. It's located in the fuse box under the driver's seat. You'll need to bend down and lift a small cover, where you'll find a bunch of small components. Look for the fuse labeled 'cig lighter' or something similar, usually numbered F32 or in a similar position. The fuse is a small blue 15-amp piece; if it's blown, the cigarette lighter won't light up. I've replaced it twice myself—just use tweezers to pull out the old one and insert a new one. The main reasons for blowing are plugging in too many devices, like a phone charger drawing too much current, or dust getting into the lighter socket causing a short circuit. Keeping spare fuses in the glove box is very handy. I recommend checking them regularly to avoid emergency charging failures while driving.
