The cigarette lighter fuse of the Mercedes-Benz GLK300 is located on the left side of the engine or near the power source. Below is a detailed introduction about the Mercedes-Benz GLK: 1. Overview: The Mercedes-Benz GLK is a crossover SUV model targeted at urban elites. The vehicle dimensions are 4528/1840/1689mm. The fuel consumption is 10.2-10.4 liters per 100 kilometers. The displacement ranges from 2996-3498cc. 2. Others: The Mercedes-Benz GLK adopts the technology of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and its design is very close to that of the GL-Class. The powertrain comes from four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines. The Mercedes-Benz GLK series consists of two models: the Mercedes-Benz GLK300-4MATIC and the Mercedes-Benz GLK350-4MATIC. The Mercedes-Benz GLK300-4MATIC is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 engine, while the Mercedes-Benz GLK350-4MATIC is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine.
I remember when I was driving a Mercedes-Benz GLK300, the cigarette lighter fuse blew once. It's located under a small panel on the driver's side of the dashboard. After opening it, you can see a bunch of fuses marked with symbols or words like 'Cigarette Lighter' or 'Cig'. This is very convenient as you don't need to remove any major parts; just pry open the cover with your hand to find it. I suggest checking first if it's blown—usually, it's black or the filament is broken, which is easy to spot. The main cause is often plugging in too many electrical devices, like phone chargers, leading to excessive current. So, it's best to avoid plugging in multiple devices at once and keep the cigarette lighter port clean to prevent dust from causing a short circuit. When repairing, it's advisable to turn off the engine before replacing the fuse. Use pliers to gently pull out the old one and insert a new 15-amp fuse. This is a job I can do myself, saving time and money. If you can't find it, check if there's a secondary fuse box in the trunk, but the main one is usually there. Remember to buy some spare parts to keep in the car.
