Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located in the Ford Kuga?
2 Answers
In the Changan Ford Kuga, the cigarette lighter fuse is located in the fuse box in the engine compartment. The fused power outlet plug is inserted into the top circular slot. Typically, the inside of the removed cover panel lists the component names and corresponding numbers, allowing technicians to locate the components based on the information. The method and steps for finding the fuse are as follows: 1. Before searching for the fuse, ensure safety by turning off the engine and power supply. 2. Locate the corresponding position and use a small pry tool to lift the protective cover. 3. Remove the fuse box, and the cigarette lighter's position can be seen on the inner side, located as the second fuse in the first column. 4. Use a test light to preliminarily diagnose the fuse. If one end lights up during testing while the other does not, it indicates the fuse is blown. 5. Use a specialized tool to remove the faulty fuse and replace it with a new one.
The cigarette lighter in my Escape suddenly lost power, and it took me a while to locate the issue. There's a small box under the lower left corner of the steering wheel—you'll need to crouch down to see it. Specifically, it's the 15-amp blue mini fuse labeled F61 on the back of the box cover. Use tweezers to pull it out and check if the middle section is broken. If it's blown, replace it with one of the same rating. A word of caution: never use a coin or wire as a substitute—my neighbor did that and ended up burning the wiring harness black. For a temporary charging solution, the rear seat 12V outlet has an independent fuse and can serve as an emergency workaround. Always turn off the main power switch before replacing the fuse—safety first.
